Next year, the 3 of us are attempting to run a half marathon from Newcastle to South Shields in honour of our amazing Nan ‘Flossy’ who has been living with the devastating effects of Alzheimer’s for many years now. Yep - we’ve signed up for the Great North Run 🥴

Why? Because watching someone you love slowly fade behind this cruel disease is incredibly hard — but through it all, Nan’s warmth, humour and spirit still shine through! She’s cheeky, she’s naughty but she has the most beautiful soul, a soul that’s been robbed of enjoying so many precious memories with her family & grandchildren.

Alongside Nan, our mum inspires us every day through her incredible work at ‘Lavender Mill’; providing a day care service for people living with dementia. She and her team work tirelessly to create a space filled with laughter, music, dancing, arts & crafts — and numerous trips to the pub! 🍻 Their compassion and energy bring light & peace to so many families who need a moment of respite and joy.

So take us to the toon! 🖤🤍🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏻🏃🏻‍♂️

All for our Floss, and to also showcase the pride & gratitude we have for the incredible work Mum does for those with, or caring for, someone with Alzheimer’s & dementia.
