Hi my name is Joseph and I’m 9 years old. My teachers have challenged me to do 100 of something (like Captain Tom)  to raise awareness of something that means a lot to me.

I have chosen to make 1000 origami cranes because there is a Japanese belief that if you make 1000 paper cranes on your own you get a wish from the gods, my wish is to get rid of dementia. 

I would like to support the Alzheimer’s Society because my grandad has dementia and I like the idea of him remembering stuff and my Nan finds it hard to look after him.

Alzheimer’s Society is transforming the landscape of dementia forever.Until the day we find a cure, we will create a society where those affected by dementia are supported and accepted, able to live in their community without fear or prejudice.
