Alzheimer’s Memory Walk 09:36 - Mar 25 with 3483 views

Hi guys, I’ve been meaning to do something for years now as my dad, an avid R’s fan and season ticket holder until the end who got me into the Hoops, passed away some 15 years ago and now with my childhood hero Stans passing has spurred me on do finally do something good.
Any donations gratefully received.

England players not having names on their shirts tonight.
The aim is to draw "attention to how people with dementia lose precious memories, even the names of their favourite football players".

Thanks Konk and Ted, I’ve already hit my target (it was the minimum to be fair!) after only 2 days and that’s without a penny from my family!!
I’ve walked the Beacons before and loved it, not done Fan y Big (717m) before so a new one to tick off for me!

Hi Simon,
Just donated - all the best.
I'm looking out over the Beacons from my place in Llanfrynach (about 3 miles from Brecon) - there is snow on the top at the moment, but hopefully you'll have clear skies and some sunshine when you get here!

Bumping this back to the top.
Can’t believe how quick this has come around, next week!!
Only thing now is hoping the weather will be better than today 😱
A big thanks to those of you who have dug deep, it’s much appreciated and if anyone else feels like donating I’d be very appreciative.
Thanks.
Simon

A video of my Alzheimer’s walk yesterday.
Don’t worry, it’s only about 2 minutes long!
Many thanks again to those of you who sponsored me and it’s still not too late if anyone else fancies it.
Cheers,
Simon

I’ve just realised we started from Llanfrynach, down by the canal!
Small world eh?
Beautiful part of the world and the weather was perfect for walking!
