Click here| In memory of my nan

My nan suffered from Alzheimer's disease . At a fairly young age i watched my nan become a stranger. Eventually she died alone in her care home from a stroke. Its sad that in the years prior to that, her dementia meant that she wasn't with us anyway. Despite this, she always had a smile on her face and a giggle for us when we visited.

Im doing a poster for an exhibition in aid of Alzheimer's/Dementia.

This will be a community project and will involve members of the public giving copies of photographs of a happy time e.g holidays or special event that they enjoyed with their family member who has been diagnosed with dementia.
The photographs will also be accompanied by recordings of memories of happy times.
The purpose of this exhibition is to remember the happy times and get through the difficult ones as well as to raise awareness.
This exhibition will have a log book to write memories or thoughts about the exhibition and will also have a Auction later on in the opening night.

Coincidently, i'm Glad that i'm so aptly playing a part. Just a small token But still.
