I'm 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 affected. 

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

Thank you for your support.

My Updates

Every Little Helps!

Thursday 1st May
Mum was diagnosed with early onset dementia just over four years ago. However the family started to notice small changes in her a while before with lockdown (covid) really highlighting this.
Mum went from being an independent, outgoing and frankly outspoken person to quite the opposite over a couple of years. This has been very difficult to witness! Trying to understand alzhiemer's is challenging as information is still quite 'new' & limited.

With your sponsorship we can fund more vital research to better understand & one day, find a cure for alzheimer's!
Thank you guys xx
