I will be doing the memory walk in Portsmouth in October as part of the Walking Peaches team to honour my Mother Kaye, who passed away 3 years ago with Dementia, for my Aunty Pat who has Alzheimer's, in memory of a dear friend Dot, also in recognition of other loved ones impacted by Alzheimer's / Dementia, including family of my good friends.  

Dementia is the UKs biggest killer. Someone develops it every three minutes, and currently there is no cure. We know it is scary facing up to it, but we must confront the biggest health & social care challenge of our time. After Covid-19, dementia was the leading cause of death in the UK in 2020. We owe it to the 900,000 people across the country currently living with dementia, and their families, to spearhead a campaign for change, whilst providing vital day-to-day support now. By taking part and raising sponsorship, or donating to someone who is, you are helping us do this. Once you donate, JustGiving sends your money directly to Alzheimer's Society. It's the most efficient way to fundraise, saving time and cutting costs for charities. So, who do you walk for? #memorywalk
