Last Day

Sunday 17th Mar Well, I have completed all seven days' worth of puzzles. The last two stories really focused on the families of dementia sufferers and how hard and lonely it can be to be the main carer for them. Dementia Australia helps support the families and give them connections, as well as working on treatments, care, and even maybe one day a cure for dementia. Definitely a worthwhile cause. 

Big thanks to Owie & Brenda, and my Aunty Dee, for their generous donations. Donations are possible through to midnight Tuesday 19 March.  Share

Halfway There

Thursday 14th Mar Four challenges down and I figure I should make a post about the experience. The puzzles have varied from spot the difference, moving matchsticks to make the right shapes, to today's word jumbles. They come in threes, with the first two easing you into facing the third puzzle of the day which is always the toughest. The final word was 12 letters, so I offer the designers my appreciation :) 

More than simply doing some puzzles and congratulating myself, each completed puzzle reveals a bit more of a story. The stories are, as you'd expect, about people with dementia and their loved ones. Each one is heartbreaking, but also heartwarming. Dementia is horrific and rips people's lives apart, but each of these stories shows the positive actions people can and have taken in the face of it.  Share
