Dementia is having an enormous impact on families that’s why I’ll be proudly displaying my support for Alzheimer’s Society this month

As a proud Ambassador of Alzheimer’s Society, I know all too well the enormous impact dementia is having on families all over the UK. Over 900,000 people’s lives are presently being turned upside down by this cruel illness. However, there is hope that one day dementia will no longer devastate lives. Thanks to scientific advances and the determined efforts of researchers and charities like Alzheimer’s Society, we can defeat dementia.

This May, you too can help ensure that people with dementia are remembered by wearing a Forget Me Not badge to show your support. I’m asking you to donate to Alzheimer’s Society’s appeal and wear your Forget Me Not badge with pride; to show people living with dementia that they are not forgotten. Every three minutes someone in the UK develops dementia. There still is no cure, but thanks to huge advances in medical research, there is finally real hope.
