My grandma recently passed away after suffering with Alzheimers for many years. While life with dementia is never easy or kind, the last few weeks of her life were especially difficult due to the necessary measures taken to try to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Ultimately my grandma, along with some other vulnerable patients in her care home, passed away. 

The coming months are set to be tough for everyone, but coronavirus will hit those affected by dementia the hardest. So that's why I'm lacing up my trainers and taking on Run for Dementia. Please donate to support me and ensure Alzheimer's Society can be there for the people who need them most.

And let’s vow to always remember those that we know who suffer (or did suffer) with dementia, as they were.
