The past year has been tough for everyone, but coronavirus has hit those affected by dementia the hardest and continues to disrupt lives. So that's why I'm getting on my bike and taking on Cycle for Dementia. Please donate to support me and ensure Alzheimer's
Society can be there for the people who need them most.
