My wee blog that
started when caring for my kind mum Joan, our films, produced to share our story has today now reached 1 Million Individual page views ,
ALONG with film views and meeting
ALONG with film views and meeting
85,000 People in person at talks on the tour. I am very proud to say over 1,250,000 reads,views and people have engaged with our campaign
I want to thank
everyone from my heart who has taken the time to read, share, attend a talk,
send a letter or comment for the great kindness and support.
This kindness and
support played such a big part in helping
my mum living with dementia and myself
as a son and carer and has continued to do so till this day as UK engagement lead at dementia carer voices
When I first started
caring for mum, I thought my mum was the only person living with dementia and I
was the only carer. I was soon to find out how far from true that this was
The blog and
subsequent talks and tour enlightened our lives and introduced us to so many
inspiring, caring and kind people and for that I shall be eternally grateful
Someone asked me a
few months back,
what did I learn
caring for my mum living with dementia?
The answer is a
lesson my mum tried to teach me all my life, that people are kind and caring
and if you take time to listen this will become clear. I wish I would have
listened much sooner in life,but I suppose my mum was still helping right
through to the last day
Thank you from my
heart for reading my blog, for watching the films, for coming to the talks, for the
letters, lessons and kindness along the way
People are amazing
and I am glad to have met so many along the way
Thank you for caring
