Captain, Paul Barrett and Ladies Captain, Shirley Jerome have chosen Alzheimers Society for their chosen charity this year.

Dementia is a disease that we don’t have to introduce. Dementia is the UK’s biggest killer and the biggest health and social challenge of our time. There are estimated to be over 982,000 people in the UK who currently have dementia. Many are undiagnosed and facing the realities of their condition alone. We all have a personal story of a loved one affected. A parent who no longer recognises us, a sibling who can’t make a cup of tea, or a partner who doesn’t know where they are. As an organisation, they are working their hardest to make sure that medicine, policy, and community care is at the heart of what they do. That is why they are called the Alzheimer’s Society – we all have to work as a society to fund and find a future for those who desperately need it.

The money raised will contribute to three aspects of work: groundbreaking research, advanced policy and political influence, and tailored local support for families.
