Happy Birthday Nic 🤗 You are so clearly a loving, brave man to be doing this. Im so sorry i dont have more to give. I have this myself in the early stages and i was diagnosed at 55. Its a terrifying thought, knowing whats in store for me. But with beautiful people like you out in the world i hope one day soon there will be breakthroughs. Sending warmth, strength, birthday

Thank you for your effort to raise awareness and money for dementia research. We wish you all the very best .
