Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am doing the “Ipswich Defeat Dementia Walk 2018” on Saturday 13th October in memory of my Nanna Dot Knights who lost her battle against this disease, I am also doing it in memory of my Uncle Tony who also had his own battle with Dementia, both of them were loved so much by the family & have left massive voids behind which we all struggle to deal with.
I would like to ask for you all to help me hit my target & more if possible to help raise much needed funds to help research & hopefully one day find a cure for this horrible disease as watching a loved one slowly deteriorating in front of your eyes & starts forgetting who you are is heart breaking.
Please help me hit my target no matter how big or small the donation is as it will all help towards hopefully finding a cure one day.
Thank you xx
• Dementia affects over 850,000 people in the UK and numbers are increasing
• Around 38% of the UK population know a close friend or family member with dementia
• At £26 billion each year, dementia costs the UK economy more than cancer and heart disease combined
• £20 could fund one hour of vital research
• £50 could provide access to specialist equipment for studying cells
• £120 could support complex protein analysis
