Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We know that dementia is becoming more and more prevalent. We all know someone who has been touched by this awful disease.

We have been dealing with people with the early signs of dementia, and it became apparent that whilst there is support available for the people suffering, their families struggle to come to terms with their downward spiral.

Dementia UK supports families facing dementia through their Admiral Nurse Services and Helpline. Admiral Nurses are highly experienced nurses, with specialist knowledge and skills in dementia care. Admiral Nurses work with families during the toughest times, giving them the practical tools and emotional support they need to face dementia. They work with the person with the diagnosis, but also the entire family, keeping people connected and together for as long as possible.

We want to help raise funds to allow Dementia UK to continue doing the amazing work they are doing supporting families, and giving them the tools they need to make this difficult time as easy as possible.

Neither of us are particularly good with heights, and wanted to take on a challenge. What better challenge than to jump out of a perfectly serviceable plane? We are both nervous, yet excited to take on the challenge, and hope to bring you on the journey with us, whilst raising funds for this fantastic cause.
