On the 18th of June 2025 I sadly lost one of the most important person to me which was my nan. She unfortunately passed away from Alzheimer’s. This was a really hard time for us, but we will always remember her!! And her amazing sausage rolls she would make 🩷

Dementia is an awful illness. Family home carers need more help than is being offered by the state.
I'm taking part in the London Summer Walk to support Alzheimer's Society to further the help &
support they & their volunteers give to dementia sufferers & their dedicated carers, & for the help they gave to me.
I was a full time home carer for my wife for 8 years. In this long struggle I promised her to hold her hand and be there for her, every step of the way.
She died last December, & I miss and cry for her, but she had told me that now she'll walk with me every step of the way,
Dementia is a cruel illness affecting all the family, and hopefully one day - a step at a time - people won't have go through this pain and suffering.

I am doing a sky dive to face my fears as my grandad faced a fear he was not aware of. The fear of the unknown. That is greatest fear that we can all bear. He was brave and courageous and taught us everyday what is is like to be brave. I want to honour his legacy and do this Sky dive. I will never never know the fear he felt but I had the compassion and empathy to understand. I took time and I learnt, developed and adapted. We ar human, all we can do is learn. My grandad was my hero and taught me so much. In this generation, if anything. Just be kind.

I will be taking part in the Memory Walk in honour of my beautiful Nana who sadly lost her long battle with Dementia in May this year.
My nana tirelessly cared for her own mother who suffered from Altzimers disease before being diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2012.

I'm doing the memory walk in memory of my dad.
Dad passed away on 4th May 2025 after a short battle with Alzheimers and vascular dementia. I have worked in dementia care for thirty years.
One of myfavourite memories of my dad was when he posed with my wedding bouquet in his hand whilst I got out of the camper van. My dad was larger than life and is very dearly missed .

I'm swimming in celebration of my lovely mum, Iris. She taught me to swim at a very young age and it was something we continued to share throughout her life. I miss my mum every day, but I have so many wonderful memories, even through her battle with mixed dementia and Alzheimers. Life is for celebrating!

Every year me and my dad would do Alzheimer’s memory walk, my nan and grandad had dementia it was an awful journey. We never wanted another family to go through that. Then sadly my dad got diagnosed with vascular dementia 2017 he started to deteriorate quickly then sadly 24,06,2024 my dad gained he’s angel wings. I am raising awareness and doing my own memory walk 2025 in memory of my dad, Nan, grandad and all the lovely residents and clients I have had the pleasure of taking care of in my career this is for our future. I miss my dad so much but I continue my memory walks in he’s memory because I know he wouldn’t want me to stop.

I am running my first ever 5km for my nan who we sadly lost earlier this year after a long decline. She was an inspiration.
