I would like to introduce myself, and let you all know why i have joined.
I'm Mel , one of 4 daughter of Mick. Dad my diagnosed with Alzheimer's 6 years ago, he was only aged 58. He is now living in an NHS facility 20 miles from home as there is nowhere nearby that can care for his needs. He is unable to do anything for himself, he no longer speaks and rarely gives eye contact. Mum is so strong and continues to do as much caring for him as she can.
Reading this forum helps remind me we are not alone.
And finally, my husband & I completed the Ben Nevis Challenge on 29th May, still getting all the sponsor money in, but we will of raised just over £3000.00
