I am running the Great North Run alongside my colleagues Bridie and Abigail as 3 quarters of the South Tyneside Admiral Nurse Team. All in aid of Dementia UK to keep providing people with specialist Admiral Nurses all over the UK. We are a small team of nurses but together we hope to make a big difference.

We work closely with People with Dementia and there carers, providing practical and emotional support. We help people with dementia stay independent for longer, and support the people caring for them so they have the strength to cope with the bad days, and the energy to enjoy the good days. They have the time to listen and the knowledge to solve problems, helping families take back control when they are struggling.
