Memory Walk Mini Series 1 - Helen's Story

In the first episode of this mini series, Helen Pike generously shares her story, talking about caring for her husband Geoff, who has a form of dementia called Primary Progressive Aphasia. She also shares her experience of Memory Walk, which she and Geoff did together last year. Memory Walk is a series of sponsored walks held in September and October across the UK by the Alzheimer's Society. It's free to sign up and open to all. The events bring together people who understand the impact of dementia, mixing the buzz of the crowd along with quiet moments of remembrance. Every pound raised goes towards funding vital research and support for those affected by dementia.
