Story
Alzheimer’s Society is transforming the landscape of dementia forever.Until the day we find a cure, we will create a society where those affected by dementia are supported and accepted, able to live in their community without fear or prejudice.
Ted was a pilot of many adventures in his younger years. He flew with the Black Arrows and looped the loop at Farnborough Air Show which has never been repeated. He also served in the RAF, flying to the Antarctic for 2 years and while there he fell down a 30 foot crevice. It was Ted's dogged determination and will that got him out. He taught aerobatics and flew many fighter jets in his day. He also became President Mobutu's personal pilot while in Zaire, as it was then. He was and is also my loving husband and father to my children. Our lives have and will go on and Ted will remember little to none of this. He was brave and skilled and charismatic and the one I turned to . If the research into dementia were more progressed we might have been able to ease Ted's dreadful journey
