My brother in law was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia at the same time as I was diagnosed with incurable but treatable metastatic cancer. It was estimated that he would need full time residential care within 4 years. My prognosis after gamma knife surgery to a brain & skull tumour was 6-18 months, possibly 2 years.
That was a year ago. My BIL died last May aged 70. He went from an emergency admission to hospital into respite care & then full time care in the first 3 months of last year, & by that time we were in lockdown. Difficult times.
I signed up for the Memory Walk before I needed a wheelchair, so wasn’t sure if it would count, but it is a workout, I was knackered after the first leg yesterday. No doubt it’ll get easier, looking forward to the next bit already. I’ll post photos & updates here so I don’t highjack another thread xx
My twin sister & niece 
My sister & I have times when we’re very alike and very different. We try very hard to be different, adult twins aren’t cute! We have photos from our younger days where we can’t tell the difference especially as we swapped clothes & to my shame occasionally boyfriends xx
eeek!! Have reached £998 of my 1000 target!!! Over the moon, next lap on Friday with a couple of people walking with me, and some doing a virtual walk with me xx
