Hi all
I have been invited to a conference in London next week on The Rising Cost of Dementia with some others from the Youger People with Dementia Working Group.
I am very interested in the costs as I have been lobbied on various occassions by our local newspaper ever since they did a campaign for Alzheimers drugs some time ago with us. It seems some newspaper have decided to help us out where they can so no doubt there will be more questions.
But I think it would be nice to get as much knowledge about this as we can for the future, so that my wife and other carers can see what is coming.
There are various speakers who sound very interesting including our very own Bruce, who as many know cares for his wife Jan. Although some of us are really on the wrong side as far as the conference is concerned, (as we have Dementia ourselves), it sounds a briiliant day and no doubt Bruce will do it justice. I have never heard him speak before so that is going to be an experience, and something I am really looking forward to.
I have become attached to a group who are getting involved with future planning for Younger People with Dementia. This has given me an insight into what is a minefield.
Good Luck with your Speech Bruce.
Very Best Wishes
Ken
