Alzheimer's is grossly under funded in the UK:</b>
•Over 820,000 people in the UK live with Alzheimer's and other dementia's.
•Dementia costs the UK economy £23 billion per year: more than cancer and heart disease combined.
•Dementia research is severely underfunded, receiving 12 times less support than cancer research.
Today was a tough day as my parents house was cleared. A few days ago whilst going through the house for the last time I found some photographs, some of which I had never seen before of my Mother when she was in her twenties. She used to do a lot of acting on the stage often as one of the leads or the glamorous character.
In one of the last conversations I had with my Father before he died in April he said to me "When I first met June she was the most beautiful and intelligent woman I had ever met". My Father first met my Mother at a party held by a mutual friend. When he first saw her, even before he had spoken to her he told his friend who was with him at the party "I am going to marry that woman".
