Rachel Gittins is raising money for Alzheimer's Society
In memory of Ray Gittins
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. As many of you will know, my wonderful Dad Ray passed away recently after a long battle with vascular dementia & Alzheimer’s. Instead of having flowers at his funeral, we are kindly asking for donations to The Alzheimer’s Society.
The Facts.. There are 850,000 people with dementia in the UK, with numbers set to rise to over 1 million by 2025. This will soar to 2 million by 2051. 225,000 will develop dementia this year, that’s one every three minutes! 1 in 6 people over the age of 80 have dementia.
A Summary about the Charity.. Alzheimer's Society is a United Kingdom care and research charity for people with dementia and their carers. It operates in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Despite its name, the charity does not exclusively help people with Alzheimer's disease. There are many types of dementia, which is an umbrella term.
It is a membership organisation, which works to improve the quality of life of people affected by dementia in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.
The society relies on voluntary donations from the public through fundraising and other activities.
