Story
Thank you for visiting the Rainbow Jane JustGiving page.
My mum, Dorothea, was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia and Alzheimer's disease in 2015. Despite her diagnosis, she always considered herself lucky and would happily tell everyone that there was nothing wrong with her. Alzheimer's impacts everyone in such different ways. Sadly, she passed away in 2018.
Watching someone you love gradually lose their memories and independence is heartbreaking. Like so many families, I often wish there had been treatments that could have slowed the disease and more support available for those living with dementia and their carers. My mother was one of 3 sisters, each one of them, suffered with Alzheimer's.
That's why fundraising for the Alzheimer's Society is so important to me. By raising awareness and supporting research, we can help improve the lives of people affected by dementia today and work towards better treatments and, one day, a cure.
Thank you for your support.
Jane 💙
