Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nurse charity. Our nurses, called Admiral Nurses – who we continually support and develop – provide life-changing care for families affected by all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease.

Story

For those of you who know me know I’ve been on a personal journey with my weight… my main reason for this was to lose enough to be able to do a skydive for a charity close to my heart. After losing almost 6 stone (and still going) I am now able to do this!!

My nan has been diagnosed with dementia and since we got her diagnosis we’ve been coming to terms with that as a family and supporting in any way we can. Although it’s progressing a lot faster than we anticipated and she may not remember who I am, I’m making it my mission every day to help support the fight and fundraise for this amazing charity who do so much work and research into this cruel condition.

I want to do this skydive not only for my Nan but to raise money for a charity that can raise vital funds, improve care and support for families facing dementia and spread the word about our specialist dementia nurses.

For as long as my Nan is with us I will spend time making memories for her but this skydive is for her and to help other people with the condition. Why not have some fun along the way!
