Bob Whiting on Wight for Sage House by Dementia Support

Bob Whiting is raising money for Dementia Support

70 miles Mobility Scooter Adventure Around the Isle of Wight · 8 May 2025

Founded in 2014, Dementia Support is a young, unique charity that provides complete dementia services in one community-based hub, known as Sage House. We provide support and information to anyone wanting to know more about how to live well with dementia, both pre and post diagnosis.

Story

I will be challenging myself to travel 70 miles around the IOW on my mobility scooter. I will be using the old steam railway routes which are on the island. As someone who was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2022 this is a charity close to my heart and something I want to do while I am still able to. Please support me in helping to raise funds for Sage House.

Dementia is now the leading cause of death in the UK. It’s a devastating and complex condition. Every 3 minutes somebody will develop dementia. There is no cure. There are 900,000 people with dementia in the UK. We at Dementia Support are there for all those who need our help. We reduce loneliness, give the best quality care and provide hope, supporting the whole family.
