Daniel's wing walking fundraiser for Alzheimer's Research UK

Daniel Reeves is raising money for Alzheimer's Research UK

WING WALKING · 5 June 2026

Alzheimer’s Research UK is the UK’s leading dementia research charity. We’re striving for a cure, by revolutionising the way we treat, diagnose and prevent dementia.

Story

My name is Dan and I have worked in care all my life. I have supported so many people who have had or are lived with Alzheimer's or families who have been affected by Alzheimer's. I feel I have good understanding of Alzheimer's.

For a while now my dad, his Twin brother have been diagnosed with living with Alzheimer's. They both are on their own journey with Alzheimer's. The whole family are going through their journey seeing someone they love having Alzheimer's.

This has opened my eyes on Alzheimer's from a family point of view and has given me a better understanding how much Alzheimer's affects the person and the whole family.

I would love to raise money for Alzheimer's research to help get a better understanding and treatment for people.

I have decided to do a sponsored wing walk for the very first time on 5th June 2026. But not just the one wing walking. On the same day I will be going into the sky again on a wing of a plane. To do loop the loop, flying upside down and a nose dive.

I am doing this for my dad (Mike), Uncle Arthur and uncle Henry.

and for everyone who has been affected by Alzheimer's.Let's do this
