Donna has chosen to raise funds for Dementia Jersey and is taking part in 50 Mile Challenge - Dementia Jersey 2025 in memory of Keith Newman
‘People say you lose someone twice when you lose them to dementia. You grieve them during the disease and again when they pass‘
I have taken part in this challenge previously, as my father died of this disease in 2017. Any money raised can hopefully work towards a cure or locally helping those families currently affected.
On a personal note the challenge will also help me with my fitness targets.
We are helping to make Jersey a more Dementia friendly island. We want all those people affected by Dementia, or living with the disease to be understood, welcomed and supported.
All funds raised from the 50 Mile Challenge will be held in Jersey and utilised to support the dementia community.
Dementia Jersey offers expert advice, support, and information to anyone affected by dementia in Jersey. We offer therapeutic activities through art, music and swimming, as well as brain training and reorientation programmes, carer support groups. We also provide educational programmes to the community to help raise awareness of dementia. Together our services help connect people and create a more dementia friendly island.
Thank you from all of the team at Dementia Jersey.
