World Alzheimer's Day
It's 21st September, which means World Alzheimer's Day, so it seems the perfect time to (try to at least) restart (again) my blog, and to some extent my running/walking as I'm starting to notice that my daily averages are slipping around or below 3k, much lower than the needed 5k
Fortunately I finally have a donation page sorted, so can start to promote the cause both in terms of the charity itself and our challenge:
https://fundraise.charitycheckout.co.uk/price-bailey/cf/The-1718km-Challenge
Charity Checkout are an alternative to justgiving with more competitive fees, so more funds get to the charity itself. Hopefully can continue to raise awareness and raise funds through this channel.
As for me and my family, dad's journey continues but unfortunately he has continued to regress. He has been in a hospital now since May, with the majority of the time in a community and more recently in a higher needs ward.
Sure, he has days of lucidity and during visits if he's awake he'll still generally recognise me, he continues in his journey, physically and mentally to what looks to be a lonely place. Lonely, but who knows how conscious he is of being lonely. He doesn't seem to be aware that he has been away from home for four months now. Who knows what the next stages will bring, but as he hasn't walked since being admitted in May and now struggles to eat and drink things certainly won't get easier for him, nor for his loved ones around him.
