Amazon Jungle Survival: A local boy from our community is trekking the Amazon jungle, sleeping in hammocks, fishing for food etc all for Dementia UK.
Stacie Lewis, of Ogmore Vale, has decided to push himself to the limit. As someone who works with dementia residents in a care home, he sees first hand the pain and sorrow that dementia causes not only to the sufferers, but also the wider family.
He also gets to see the highs and lows of those who have dementia from early diagnosis to the end stages of life.
Through education, research and personcentred care, we can provide invaluable help to those who are diagnosed and their family and friends. Dementia doesn’t have to be the end. Let us make memories and someday find a cure.
Please donate to help Stacie raise money for the cause by going to the JustGiving page on the web or by texting 70070 and enter the code SLAJ87 with the amount you want to give. Eg SLAJ87 £5 to 70070.
