Walk for a Cure - Edinburgh, Holyrood Park

Walking for dad, and all affected by Alzheimers

My dad was one of those people who could fix anything - if theyd had Repair Shop in his timr, he would definitely have been on it!! And most of what he did was self taught.  That's what made losing him piece by piece all the more harder. If things break today, I still say 'if dad was here, he'd fix it'.  That's why we're taking part in Walk For A Cure because every 3 minutes dementia steals a happily ever after. Research is our only chance of changing the ending for people affected by dementia. 

Alzheimer's Research UK are the UK's leading dementia research charity. They exist for a cure.

Your donation helps scientists and researchers find new ways to diagnose dementia, develop new treatments and find a cure for dementia.

We're doing it for dad and for everyone affected... thank you for your help.

Many thanks to my lovely colleague Janette for making the first donation (other than mine!). Was beginning to think the link wasn't working!.. so grateful. 
If anyone else wishes to donate, I would be equally grateful. This dementia touches so many, if you are able to help, we thank you. 💜

For dad, and all others affected by Alzheimers

Friday 31st May
My dad was a fantastic piper, a pipe major to be exact.. and one of those men that could fix anything - TVs, VCRs, hairdryers, curling tongs, you name it, he could fix it. Let's put it this way, if Repair SHOP had been around in his day, he would have been on it! That's what made it so hard to lose him piece-by-piece. To see such a dynamic man slowly fade away, losing his confidence, his memory, his self.. 
That's why we are walking for a cure. To stop this terrible disease affecting other families in the future. We want to help and We're asking you for your help too. Any donation will be most gratefully received and I thank you in advance.
