I'm taking on Marathon Your Way!

I'm taking part in the Marathon Your Way challenge to raise funds for Australians living with dementia.

As many of you know, we lost my Pop to dementia and we continue to see parts of my grandfather George fade every day. This is a cause I hold close to my heart for personal reasons and seeing the impact of this disease on families everyday at work.

Please help me reach my marathon target by making a donation. It only takes a minute and any amount, big or small, can transform the lives of Australians impacted by dementia, including families, friends, and carers.

Dementia Australia provides vital services such as peer support groups, counselling, and education programs. They also operate a 24/7 National Dementia Helpline for people at all stages of their dementia journey. 

Thank you for your support. Together, we can transform the lives of those impacted by dementia!

My Motivation

Sunday 6th Oct
For me this is fundraiser is motivated by my own personal experiences. From a young age, I have very little memory of my Pop, Kevin before he presented with Dementia. My Pop unfortunately passed after an extremely long fight with dementia. 
My paternal grandfather, George is continuing to live with Alzheimer’s Disease and progressively declining. George is well known to our community and loves to sing, walk and chat to anyone! If you know George, you have definitely heard his lovely voice. 
Dementia is a tough thing, sometimes my grandfather will tell us that there is something wrong with his head, these a periods where he has some insight to his condition, other times he may be pleasantly confused or not so pleasantly confused. Its common to see changes in mood as the frontal lobe is impacted by this condition. 
Thats when this condition becomes very difficult on family and loved ones as seemingly, the person you know and love can be hard to see. 

For us, we continue to love my grandfather and enjoy every moment we have with him while we can! 

It is so important to have the support of organisations like Dementia Australia to provide support to families and those living with dementia
