I'm raising funds for people with dementia!
The loss of Dad still perplexes me. He had led a full and active life; he was an astute and respected surveyor, a supportive, beautiful father, loving husband, and a valued member of the Bowral community. He was diagnosed with dementia in 2017 and he died in October 2019, at the age of 75.
The New York Marathon is going to be a huge personal challenge for me, but nothing compared to living the life he led in the end.
I'm raising funds for dementia to help further research into its complexities, onset, and treatment for those living with the disease. To do this, I need your help!
Please make a donation to support my efforts and help me reach my goal.
All funds raised will support the work of Dementia Australia
Thank you for your support.
