My Wife's Mum was diagnosed with Alzheimers perhaps 6 months ago. "We" could all see it's onset, and can see her deteriorating pretty fast. But that was the time of the official diagnosis. Coupled with that - my Boss's Father was also diagnosed at pretty much the same time. He pops into my work alot. This means i have contact with - and get to see the truly heart-breaking effects on a daily basis.
Culmination of all that - is 6 of us (Wide range of ages / abilities and hardware !!!) at work have decided to do a 50-mile charity ride on some of Suffolk's wonderful Coastline on Sunday June 11th; to raise awareness. And of course funds for research and care. So the "Harleston Engineering "50" is born...............
So far we've set up a Just-Giving page:
https://www.justgiving.com/page/harleston-engineering-1677585643140?utm_source=whatsapp
…….got some sponsor forms being delivered out to sit at various locations today and have some Posters, a free T-shirt and other promotional items on the way from the Alzheimer's Society too. (Even without all that we've managed £230 raised on day 1 !!!)
So......i'll try to keep this brief, but for interest will snap of few photos of any Training days, of the participants sometime, of us taking part in the ride on the day, of anything we get in the local papers before and after etc etc
