Adrian's fundraiser for Alzheimer's Society
Adrian Crick is raising money for Alzheimer's Society
Story
I'm pleased to be joining other members of the Collaboration Network in fundraising for Alzheimer’s Society on this charity walk. It's an excellent opportunity to help support this charity and those impacted by dementia.
In the UK, nearly one million people are living with dementia, struggling to navigate an uncertain future with limited formal support. Due to the inequalities in social care, many families are left to manage safety and well-being on their own. Currently, 700,000 people have taken on the role of unpaid carers for someone with dementia, often sacrificing their own mental and physical health in the process.
Alzheimer’s Society is a vital lifeline for those affected by dementia, providing personalized services that offer support from the moment of diagnosis. This help is essential during one of the most overwhelming times in a person’s life, and the Society remains committed to being there every step of the way.
This support is crucial for people living with dementia today, but with the number of cases expected to rise dramatically in the coming years, we must work to change the future as well. Alzheimer’s Society’s education and outreach efforts are helping to build a more compassionate world for people with dementia. At the same time, their campaign for better-quality, integrated care is fighting the injustices that people with dementia face as they approach their final years.
People affected by dementia deserve not just care and support, but hope. While living with dementia is undoubtedly challenging, Alzheimer’s Society ensures that no one has to face it alone.
There is no one-size-fits-all solution to dementia. However, by taking a holistic approach, we can tackle the issue from various angles, offering immediate assistance and hope for the future.
With your support, Alzheimer’s Society can continue to fund vital research and services, moving us closer to a world without dementia. Please consider donating to our 2025 initiative and join the Collaboration Network in supporting every family affected by this disease.
