We all know someone affected by dementia, and with an ageing population, the burden of support falls on more and more people. My mother-in-law Barbara suffered from this appalling disease, so in her memory I'll be walking the first half of the Cotswold Way challenge on June 29th in aid of Alzheimer's Society.

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.
