Hope its ok to post this on here

On Sunday 16th September I'm doing the Memory Walk in blackpoo to raise funds for the Alzheimer's Society
My father unfortunately suffers from dementia & is in a home. he has been a nobber all his life & first took me on 47+ years ago, I've been going on ever since & was taking my dad home & away up to about 2years ago.
Dementia is a horrible condition that is unfortunately on the rise in both men & women & is in need of much more research
If anybody would like to donate to this great cause it would be great if you could copy this link & make a small donation
Thanks for reading

Hi Mate
Yes it is horrible, my Nan suffered from it many years ago, you have my full support, great cause and back you all the way, made a donation. Travelled all over this country watching North End with you, your dad and mine followed North End through the good times and brought us up to follow our home town team, it's in the blood. All the best mate.
 
Thanks everyone so far, my dad always told me how great pne fans where, things like this just prove it, he would have a tear in his eyes if he could read this
 
If you can please help and donate whatever you can, this is a horrible condition, I know how close knit we North Enders are, I've known Andy for along time, his dad like mine are proud North Ender's, followed the team all over the country and before the road net work and trains we have today.How they managed to follow North End home and away in those days was amazing, no motorways, A Roads in and out of towns, many hours for just what is now a short journey, but they still followed North End all over the country, please if you can help and donate.
 
You're doing something great Andy and I wish you good luck with the walk and with your fundraising.

Best wishes to your dad.

My Dad was really showing signs of this but passed away aged 82 on Thursday.... Awful thing to say I know but I'm glad that he did before it became intolerable.......I genuinly sympathise for anyone that has to live with this. Best of luck Andy.

Condolences on your loss, but, I think your right, better to go before dementia strikes, it's a horrible disease

Thanks for posting the link Andy and good luck with the walk.
I know from personal experience what a horrible condition it is. My dad(a fellow Nobber) was diagnosed with vascular dementia nearly 4 years ago and it’s terrible to watch the deterioration in someone as the disease takes over. All the very best to you and your dad.
 
Girlfriends doing same walk in memory of her dad who passed away early this year after being diagnosed a few years ago

No, not an awful thing to say at all, he hasn’t suffered as much as some, take comfort from that.
