I’m taking part in the Walk 30 miles in April in memory of my lovely mum, Mary. I’m walking with my lovely friends from yoga. We walk on Fridays and thought this would be a great way to challenge ourselves and give something back to Dementia UK. Dementia affects whole families. My Mum had no idea of her condition. We made the decision early on to keep Mum at home come what may. We had wonderful carers helping us and an Admiral Nurse would phone and visit Dad. BUT the memories of the struggles and challenges we faced daily will not be forgotten. More help and support is needed for families and research into this complex disease.
