Alzheimers affects around 1 in 14 people over 65 and like many people it affected my family as well.

When I was 3 my grandad sadly had a stroke, he recovered fully but this brought on Alzheimers for him. The following years stripped him of his identity and meant that by the time I was old enough to have any memories of him, the man that my family knew and loved was gone. He passed away when I was 11 having never gotten to know me.

I'm doing this in honour of Tony Hall, my grandad, and families like mine that lost a loved one in this demoralising way.

Below is a photo taken in my grandparents house before my grandad's stroke.
