I have not had a personal experience with dementia, yet. Luckily my grandparents escaped it and I would like to think so will my parents and other close relatives. I just couldn't bare the thought of my family not being able to recognise me or even worse, if I wasn't able to remember my partner or our son. And this is my reason to take part of the Three Peaks challenge - to support the science in hope that we will know more about dementia and how to cope with it even better in the future.

I love walking, especially on scenic routes and I love to give without expecting anything back so what could be a perfect way to join these two? Obviously taking part in a charity walk and the Yorkshire Three Peaks challenge in June seemed like a good way to kick-off my charity journey. Now all left to do is wearing in those new hiking boots and keep walking the lovely east coast to prepare in the best possible way ...
