Mednet have succeeded in their organised charity walk covering nearly 20 miles in the Lake District on the 13th June in less than 7 hours!  All proceeds of the walk will go to The Lewy Body Society Dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB), also known as Lewy body disease, is the second most frequent cause of age-related neurodegenerative dementia.   At least 5 per cent of people aged 85 and older are thought to suffer from this little known but not uncommon and devastating disease. In the UK approximately 100,000 are thought to suffer from DLB. The Lewy Body Society was founded in 2006 in order to support research into DLB and to raise awareness and educate the public, the medical profession and those in health-care decision-making positions about the disease.
