On Thursday 14th January 2016, Shaun (our Front of House) will be starting the biggest challenge of his life, Mount Kilimanjaro Trek in memory, and in celebration of his dearest Nain (Grandmother), Glenys. I sadly lost my Nain to Dementia in July 2012 at the age of 77 after a long 5- year battle with the disease. Together with my Grandfather I cared for my Nain, I was her main carer and she was my best friend. Unfortunately after 4 years she had a fall which led her into a nursing home, here her condition deteriorated and she sadly passed away. The Alzheimers Society is a membership organisation, which works to improve the quality of life of people affected by dementia in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. The organisation’s staff and volunteers provide both local information and over 2,000 services across the country to people affected by dementia in their communities. The local services include day care and home care for people with dementia, as well as support and befriending services to help partners and families cope with the demands of caring. From Dementia Cafés and innovative Singing for the Brain sessions to memory-book projects and group outings, their services provide both practical support and an essential point of human contact. The Alzheimer’s Society is a charity that is close to my heart, the work they do is amazing and I hope that by me completing this challenge I can give something back. Although there currently is no cure, the charity works hard on finding new treatments which will increase the quality of life for sufferers. I would be so grateful if you could sponsor me and contribute to the very important work they do. Thank you Shaun x
