Walk for a Cure - Poole

Help me reach my goal of £500

We’re taking part in Walk For A Cure

I'm taking part in Walk For A Cure because I want to help end the devastation of dementia.

Alzheimer's Research UK is the UK's leading dementia research charity, dedicated to finding a cure.

Research is our only chance of stopping dementia in its tracks and offering hope to the many families like ours who are affected. 

Your donation will fuel cutting-edge research that could uncover new life-changing treatments, bringing us closer to a cure. 

We want to raise as many donations as possible to help find a cure particularly for young onset dementia. You are probably aware that George was diagnosed with young onset Lewy body dementia just 2.5 years ago and his dementia has progressed very quickly changing all of our lives.

Thank you for your support.

Hi
We've decided to 'Walk for a Cure' as George, my husband and Dad to Matthew has young onset dementia which has totally changed our lives. George's dementia has progressed very rapidly which has been distressing for all of us and we would love to contribute in a small way to help ensure that other families don't have to go through what we are.
We'll be walking with hope that the team at Alzheimer's research UK with the funds raised can make significant progress towards care, treatment and prevention of dementia for the future!

Hi Ruth, I’m very rarely on Facebook but I just logged on to message someone and saw your post. I’m so sorry to hear about your husband’s illness. My mum has Alzheimer’s and is now in a care home. Such a cruel and difficult disease that brings about so many emotions for everyone. Well done for all the money and awareness you’re raising! Sending lots of love xx
