I’m hosting a Cuppa to raise funds for all people living with dementia.

I'm taking part in Cuppa Time for Dementia to raise funds that support more than 410,000 Australians living with this condition right now. 

But I need your help!

Please support me so we can continue to help people with dementia by providing the services and support they need every day.

Dementia awareness is a cause close to my heart. As most of you would know, my parents are in aged care and both have dementia of different types. It is so sad to see them slip away from us. Recently Dad smiled and greeted me by name which I haven't heard for quite a while. He, in particular, is deteriorating quickly both physically and mentally. Even simple things like standing and sitting are becoming difficult at times. His sister, my Aunty Marleen passed away from early onset dementia  in her sixties. 

Dementia is the leading cause of death among women in Australia. And overall it comes in at number 2. That's why we need to do something now.

Let's create a Dementia-Friendly Future for tomorrow and help people impacted by dementia today. 

When you support me, your donation goes straight to Dementia Australia. It will help them: 

• Provide a 24 hour support line 
• Offer counselling services 
• Create and provide important information about dementia 
• Help people plan their nexts after a diagnosis 
• Fund much needed research into prevention, treatments, and a cure.

Let's tackle dementia, together. 

Thank you for your support.
