My Father William suffered from dementia for the last 7 years of his life. As with all mental degenerative diseases the experience is awful watching your loved ones slowly disappear before your eyes. Having lived through this and now seeing men of my age with young families soon to go through the same I would like to take the opportunity to at least try and offer some form of support for those families and to help highlight the potential issues in the sport that I love, rugby, along the way.
