I'm hoping yo help make the impossible, possible, by taking part in Australia's Walk & Jog Challenge to raise much needed funds for dementia research.

I have very sadly found myself in the depths of everything dementia.

Not very long ago my Dad was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia. Prior to his diagnosis I didn't even know this disease existed.

It has been an extremely hard process to navigate the health systems, funding, and everything that comes with a dementia diagnosis. 

Our whole family has witnessed the cruelty this disease is. 
We miss him even though he's right in front of us, watching him lose pieces of himself every single day.

Dementia doesn't just take a person, it takes them from everyone who loves them.

This May I'm walking and jogging for Dementia Australia. Please donate or share this page, every bit of support brings us closer to a world where no family has to go through this.
