I'm taking part in Walk For A Cure

They are here, still breathing, still blinking, still holding our hands, 
but the thread that once tied us together is fraying.
Dementia has taken them somewhere we cannot follow,
a quiet world where names drift like leaves,
and time folds in on itself like paper.

We speak, they smile.
We laugh, they pause.
Sometimes we catch a glimpse,
a spark of who they were,
a moment of clarity that breaks the fog,
and for that heartbeat, we are home again.

But most days, we live in the in-between.
Holding on to fragments,
telling stories to the silence,
hoping that love, in its quiet persistence,
can reach the places memory cannot.

It is heartbreaking, yes.
But it is also love in its purest form,
staying, even when they cannot.

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.
