5 Miles for Dad ❤️

My sister and I are taking on a challenge that means so much to both of us, swimming 5 miles to raise money for the Alzheimer’s Society, because our dad has been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s.

Watching someone you love live with this cruel disease is incredibly difficult. Alzheimer’s affects not only the person diagnosed, but the whole family. It can be heartbreaking watching someone you love change, and there are so many emotions that come with a diagnosis like this.

We wanted to do something together to turn something incredibly difficult into something positive, to challenge ourselves, raise awareness and hopefully raise some much-needed money to support other families going through the same journey.

So, my sister and I will be swimming 5 miles together for Dad. 🏊‍♀️🏊‍♀️💙

It will be a real challenge, but every length we swim will be for Dad and for all the families affected by Alzheimer’s.

Any donation, no matter how big or small, would mean the world to us. Your support will help Alzheimer’s Society continue to provide vital support, fund research and work towards a future where people affected by dementia don’t have to face it alone.

This one is for Dad. ❤️

Thank you so much for reading our story and supporting us. Every donation, share and word of encouragement will mean more than you know.

5 miles. Two sisters. One very special reason. For Dad. 💙
