Dementia is a cruel disease that takes away our loved ones. Every 3 minutes, someone in the UK develops dementia – it is one of the biggest health challenges of our time.

Dementia is an umbrella term for a range of progressive disorders affecting the brain, including Alzheimer’s disease.

With 1 in 2 of us impacted by dementia in our lifetime – whether that is by caring for someone with the condition, developing it ourselves, or both. It impacts so many people and the more we know about the condition, the better we can support our loved ones.

If you love someone living with dementia, you’re living with it too. It doesn’t just affect the person with the diagnosis – everyone around them is also affected – it takes a big toll on all the family.

Dementia UK are the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family. Their nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, provide free, life-changing support and advice to anyone affected by dementia.

Please support me in my quest to complete the London Marathon 2024. It has been a bucket list life ambition for me and to be able to run it in honour of my grandparents and represent Dementia UK makes me feel incredibly proud.
