Yorkshire Does Vintage is a supporter of the Alzheimer's Society. When you visit our events a small portion of the ticket price goes towards the charity. Every year the Alzheimer's Society organise a charity walk called the Memory Walk to raise money and awareness. This years York walk takes place on Sunday 21st September 2012 at the Knavesmire.
There are about 800,000 people in the UK with dementia and it mainly affects people over the age of 65. As yet there is no cure and the disease can affect anyone, in fact most people will know someone who suffered from dementia. This why it's so important to raise money to help fund the Alzheimer's Society, because it helps fund research and care for people suffering from dementia.
I'm taking part this year to help this worthy cause raise some money. If you like to sponsor me, here's my Just Giving Page:-

Alzheimer's can strike without warning, and over a long period of time. What you first suspect are just warning signs of aging become much more alarming signs.
