Story

My wonderful mum Denise sadly passed away on the 26th of August 2020 after suffering from the cruel illness of dementia. For me and my sister it was heartbreaking to see mum struggle through the illness and watching her deteriorate so quickly.

My sister and I were lucky to have the support of the amazing Admiral nurses who provided help, guidance and reassurance during some very difficult periods. 

The emotional strain dementia places on a family is immense. You are thrown into becoming a carer at the same time as you are struggling to come to terms with how the illness is taking away the person you love and grieving for the loss you are experiencing.

I want to give something back for the emotional support and comfort we received from the Admiral nurses.

Your donations will go to a great cause, so thank you in advance for any donations, they will be much appreciated.
