YOU CAN BE PART OF TOMORROW’S
CURE FOR DEMENTIA
When I joined Alzheimer’s Research UK over 10
years ago, I wanted to do one thing – change
the lives of everyone affected by dementia. At
the time, it was widely felt by the public that
dementia was an inevitable part of getting older.
CEO, but as a mother of three young children.
Having cared for my grandmother, Doris, who
lost so much of herself to dementia, I’m driven
by hope that my children won’t have to go
through that with me.
But now, dementia research is at a tipping
point, with treatments emerging that have been
proven to slow down Alzheimer’s. The science
has been delivering and we’re now starting to
see breakthroughs that will transform lives.
Whether you are intending to update an existing
Will or write one for the first time, I’m incredibly
grateful that you are considering leaving a
gift to Alzheimer’s Research UK. From me
personally, thank you for thinking about helping
safeguard the future of dementia research. Your
commitment will take us closer to a cure.
I often think about what the future will look like
for my children. They are the reason I want to
help dementia research for as long as I possibly
can. Because I know it is only through research
that we can build a world where we can quickly
diagnose, effectively treat, and, one day, cure all
forms of dementia.
That’s why I have left a gift in my Will to
Alzheimer’s Research UK, not as the charity’s
