Dear All,

As Ann and I move closer to our big birthdays we are being asked what we want (chocolate) or need (better eyesight). The truth is we neither want, nor need, anything (a holiday). You don’t get this old without having most things you require :-)

As such, we would really appreciate if you would consider giving a couple of pounds to our favoured charity, which provides support for people with a Dementia diagnosis. It’s an opportunity for those with Dementia to get out and engage in activities with others and gives the carers time to have conversations they might not get at home.

It’s a really worthwhile cause and anything, no matter how small, would be appreciated.

There has been no subliminal messaging in this text.
