I'm so sorry to hear about your Grandma. Thank you for your kind words. I'm doing my part in helping towards the cause by doing the awareness side, but it's my Mother, Samantha Borrington, her partner Nathan Marriott and my younger brother, Connor, aged 7, who are doing the memory walk.

Again, thank you for your words.

In which case, god bless both you and your entire family.

You sir, have my utmost respect. I myself have a grandmother, she is still alive, but that's all she is. She lost her will to live when my grandfather died 15 years ago. She went downhill within 2 years and within 1 year more could not walk anymore. For the last 5 years she has been in bed. Unable to walk, unable to have a coherent conversation. She does not remember my mother and her sister nor me, my brother and my two nephews. We try to see her every now and then and sit by her bedside, but it hurts me to do so. I want to remember my grandmother as she was, not how she became.

Alzheimers and dementia are a awfull disease. It does not directly kill, but it takes the person you know and love away and retreats them so far into themselves that there is no more interaction with the world around them. I wish we could just understand what she thinks, so we can talk to her in a way she can understand, but there is no way to reach my grandmother, of who I know she is still in there, somewhere.

Much thumbs up for you and your family and how you are handling this. Raising awareness and money for research so we can hopefully, one day, understand more about this condition and maybe, maybe even find a way to bring back the people we love into our world.

I tried to donate but I don't have a creditcard. Will be getting in touch with you to see if I can use paypal somehow.

Keep going!

Reading this almost made me cry, as I know exactly how is feels. I remember one of the last times I saw my grandmother... she asked me who I was and why I was in her house (she asked my mother this as my mother at the time was her carer). From that day on I promised myself that although she is forgetful she still has all the same love inside for me and her family. It was probably the last time I saw her really, I told my Mum that "next weekend I'll come with you and see her, on saturday" - on the wednesday she passed away. That's probably one of my biggest regrets... not being able to say goodbye.
Sorry to hear about your grandmother. I wish that this horrible illness was never brought into existence and I pray that hopefully, one day, we can find a cure.

Thank you ever so much! 200% and hopefully climbing. I did this without my Mothers knowledge, so it's going to be a nice surprise for her when she see's it!

I'd like to personally thank every single one of you on the huge support so far. It's been overwhelming for myself and my Mum.

I've shown this page and the direct page: https://www.justgiving.com/teams/HeSheAndIt
To my Mum and she is so happy, so grateful and has been reading some of the comments here with tears in her eyes at some of the stories about your own family members who have/have had the disease.

Thank you, every single one of you gorgeous people. The support is insane.

                           ...and the entirety of my family.

Thank you for also taking part in helping raise money for the cause. I believe that we can find a cure for this horrible disease and it's only a matter of time. Just like you said, thank you to everyone who has donated, but most importantly thank you all for helping to raise awareness.

 
A bit late here, but I've donated All I had on my bank account

My granddad has Alzheimers himself and I think it's great that you support this Jamz, +69 to you!

Hi all, I'm sure you're all wondering as to what happened with this.

On October 3rd, 2015 a memory walk in Nottingham took place to help raise money and awareness for The Alzheimer's Society.
My Mother, Brother and Step Father took part in a walk in order to help.
Team Target: £150
Total Raised: £444.29
https://www.justgiving.com/teams/HeSheAndIt

As you can see we have raised a huge £444.29 towards the cause with the help from family, friends, colleagues and Altislife.co.uk community. With the target being a £150 I can truly not be anymore happier with the outcome, alongside my family.

Thank you to all those here that helped to raise awareness, whether that being just seeing this post or whether you joined in telling your friends and family, it's all hugely appreciated. I'd like to personally thank each and everyone of you who donated to the cause and helped myself and my family by donating. Whether small or large each penny helped, thank you.

Special thanks to:
Wilco - @Wilco
Adam - @Adam
Neo - @Neo
Lemmen - @Lemmen
Liam - @Mr Liam
JohnJoeegan - @JohnJoeegan
(if I missed anyone that donated out, please message me, I included only those that posted with a picture of a donation)

And Ofcourse a huge thank you from my family to each of you for all your kindhearted words. Thank you!

I've uploaded a few pictures from the event if anyone is interested
(excuse my younger brother's t-shirt looking like a dress. They didn't have a size for a 7year old) :Cool:
