Around 225,000 people develop dementia every year – that's the equivalent to one person every three minutes. This September and October Memory Walks will be taking place across England, Wales and Northern Ireland to raise money for a world without dementia. Arm in arm, step by step and pound by pound, we will get there. Once you donate, Just Giving will send your money directly to the Alzheimer's Society. So it's the most efficient way to raise money – saving time and cutting costs for the charity. Please dig deep and help us walk for a world without dementia.

We lose another bit of daddy every day and it is heart-breaking to watch. This is a horrible disease and a lot of improvements must be made to care for people who are suffering from Alzheimers and dementia. Numbers are increasing and people are paying a lot of money for care which is not really appropriate or adequate for their needs. It is important that their last months and years are as happy as possible.
