Sarah and Rutger - Bristol Half Marathon

On the 25th September 2022 Rutger and myself will be running the Bristol Half Marathon in aid of Dementia UK.

As some of you may or may not know - our mum was diagnosed with a rare form of dementia (Frontal Temporal Dementia) back in 2020 - Around 12% of people under the age of 65 have frontotemporal dementia. It most commonly occurs between the ages of 45-65.

Unfortunately, for our mum, there is nothing medical professionals or we are able to do about this illness. However, we would like to make a difference where we can and support other individuals and families going through the same painful process as us.

Dementia UK provides specialist dementia support for families through our Admiral Nurse service.

When things get challenging or difficult for people with dementia and their families, Admiral Nurses work alongside them. They give the compassionate one-to-one support, guidance and practical solutions people need, and that can be hard to find elsewhere.

More information about Dementia UK: Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nurse charity. Our nurses, called Admiral Nurses, provide life-changing care for families affected by all forms of dementia.

By supporting our charity, you can help us grow the number of specialist dementia nurses, giving more families a lifeline. With your help, no one will have to face dementia alone.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated and of course your support on the day!

Thank you in adance!
