My Mom, Auntie, cousin and I are taking part in the Memory walk as we have all experienced how cruel dementia is. Nothing could have prepared us for how awful this illness is. It is truly heartbreaking watching a loved one slowly fade away each day due to this illness. My Gran was a wonderful woman who is missed everyday. We want to raise money for Alzheimer's Society to try and raise awareness and help to stop others from suffering.
Around 225,000 people develop dementia every year – that’s the equivalent to one person every three minutes. This September and October Memory Walks will be taking place across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to raise money for a world without dementia. Arm in arm, step by step and pound by pound, we will get there. Once you donate, Just Giving will send your money directly to the Alzheimer's Society. So it’s the most efficient way to raise money – saving time and cutting costs for the charity. Please dig deep and help us walk for a world without dementia.
