This Sunday, myself and 3 of my besties will be taking part in the Memory Walk, walking in memory of our beautiful Nan’s. ❤️
For me, it’s in memory of my Nan, Phyllis.
My Nan was beautiful, glamorous, strong, independent, kind and incredibly funny. She was such a wonderful woman and someone I feel so lucky to have had in my life. ❤️
Sadly, Nan developed dementia.
Yesterday, I was working at a dementia care home, and it was a really sad reminder of just how cruel this disease can be. 😭
Dementia doesn’t just affect memory. It can slowly take away parts of the person you know and love — their independence, their personality, their memories and, in so many ways, their identity💔
It’s heartbreaking watching families and loved ones navigate something that can feel so unfair and so cruel.
So this Sunday, we’ll be walking for our Nan’s, remembering the amazing women they were, the memories they gave us and the lives they touched. 🥰
We’ll also be walking with hope that one day, through research and a better understanding of the brain, we can find ways to prevent, slow down or even stop dementia from taking so much from people and their families.
Until then, we walk, we remember and we raise awareness. ❤️
For Phyllis. For our Nan’s. For all those living with dementia and all the families who love them. 👣❤️
