In memory of Yiayia

At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

In 2023, I lost one of the most important people in my life...my beloved Granny, or Yiayia, as we say in Greek. 💙

Watching Alzheimer's slowly take pieces of the person I loved was one of the hardest experiences I have ever faced. It didn't just affect her memory, it changed so many moments I had hoped to share. Even through it all, the love she gave me and all those around her never faded, and neither will the memories of the incredible woman she was.

In honour of my Yiayia and everyone affected by this heartbreaking disease, I'm raising £1,000 for the Alzheimer's Society by jumping out of an aeroplane 10,000ft in the air!

Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help fund vital research, provide support for families, and bring hope for a future where no one has to watch someone they love disappear to Alzheimer's.

If you're able to donate, I would be so incredibly grateful. And if you can't, simply sharing this fundraiser would mean the world to me.

Thank you for helping me celebrate my Yiayia's life and legacy by supporting a cause that is so close to my heart. ❤️
