Walk for a Cure – Edinburgh
As some of you know, one of my favourite movies is The Notebook.
When Allie was older, she was suffering from dementia. Her husband Noah was reading a book to her at the care home. The book was their story. He was trying to help her to remember her life, and their love story.
In late 2023, I came across a book (in the local charity shop) called “Somebody I used to know” by Wendy Mitchell. Wendy was sharing her story of dementia.
Since reading the book, the topic of dementia has been close to my heart. I was only 38 at the time when I found her book. I realised that one day it could also be my story. Because anyone can potentially develop dementia. At the moment - there is no cure.
Wendy was diagnosed with dementia at the age of 58 and has been an advocate for living positively with dementia through her blog “Which me am I today”, and through her books until her death at the age of 68 on February 22, 2024.
I’m taking part in Walk For A Cure because I want to raise awareness, help to find a cure, and end the devastation of dementia.
