<p>Along with some friends and family, this June I am joining the Alzheimer's Society's Yorkshire Three Peaks Trek. A 26 mile walk with three ruddy great hills in the middle! </p><p>I'm watching first hand Jill's struggle with Alzheimer's, please take a minute to read her story below. I promise that the more you sponsor me for the faster I'll walk! Please be generous for this great Charity.</p><p>Jill's Story :-</p><p><span>In </span><i>December 18, after struggling with day-to-day living for a few years I was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's. I'm now on medication which hopefully will slow down the progression.</i></p><section class="js-story story dna-grid-row"><div class="dna-grid-col-l-8 dna-grid-col-xl-10" style="float: left;width: 669.961px;"><div id="js-story-content" class="js-story-content story-content" style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);"><p style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);"><i><br/>A year on, I have come to terms with my diagnosis, although I must admit it took a while!
