Swim for Dementia · 1 April 2023 to 31 March 2024 ·

At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

Hello! Thank you for looking at my Just Giving page! 

Determined to get my bum in gear, I have signed up to swim 5 miles in 4 weeks, all while raising some money for Alzheimer's UK. 

My lovely nan, May, lived with dementia for around 10 years, and although we were very lucky with how it presented for her, she was definitely battling some germlins in the later stages. We lost her in September 2022 and miss her everyday.  Nan and I were always together, out and about, being ladies what lunch, chatting on FaceTime at midnight or watching Bones / NCIS. I watched her change over the years and how her dementia affected her as time went on. 

The pool I will be swimming in is 15.3 meters long, and if my maths if correct that works out to 526 lengths over the four weeks! 

Follow along to see how I get on and thanks again for reading this far ❤️❤️
