Walk across the South Wales Valleys · 1 July 2024

At Alzheimer’s Society we’re working towards a world where dementia no longer devastates lives. We do this by giving help to those living with dementia today, and providing hope for the future by campaigning to make dementia the priority it should be and funding groundbreaking research.

Story

On 1 July this year, I shall be walking 100 miles over a period of six days; re visiting the areas I photographed in the South Wales coal mining valleys 40 years ago, during the 1980s.

My Mam was a keen supporter of my career as a photojournalist and documentary film maker. She was always interested in my work, especially in the valleys, as we had a number of relatives who had worked in the collieries.

Mam sadly passed away a few years ago, suffering with dementia. It's a cruel desease that chips away at one's memory. To witness someone slowly fading away, not knowing who you are, is heart breaking.

I will always have her memory in my heart, as I walk up and down, and across the valleys I love so much.

Please, if you can, support me in raising funds for this worthy cause.

Thank you.
