At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page.

Alzheimer’s is something that touches many families and has touched mine, with several family members being effected. We recently lost my marvelous mother-in-law Angela and some time ago my granddad Walter, to the disease.

It was upsetting to see the lively, interesting, lovely people I once knew disappearing before my eyes. In their memory I'd like to do something to hopefully help make a little bit of a difference.

I'm walking the 127 miles from my adopted home of Leeds to my original home of Liverpool, along the canal over 8 days in May. It will be a symbolic link between my past and my present, helping to bring back memories of family no longer with us, build new memories for me and my current family, while hopefully raising much needed funds to help support people affected by this disease.

I'm using the canal as I won't have a sat nav but hopefully I won't take a wrong turn and fall in!

Any donation you can give will be greatly appreciated.
