A personal post for the first day of World Alzheimer's Month.

John, husband of COSY Routes creator Jo Earlam, is back home this weekend after an extended care home respite stay in recent months, following emergency hospital admission.

Jo and family friend, dementia advocate, and lead of Exeter Dementia Action Alliance Gina Awad, are passionate about raising awareness of dementia, hence the Celebrating Memories event taking place on Sunday 28th September, venue Exeter Science Park.

Please do join us for an informal get together, walk and run options on the route, or just mingle, chat, and enjoy a coffee and cake.

Let's celebrate memories this World Alzheimer's Month 💜

On World Alzheimer's Day, Exeter Dementia Action Alliance is pleased to unveil plans for new dementia CARE sessions in the city and a unique way of remembering loved ones living with dementia, by sharing memories to be added to the Alliance 'Celebrating Memories' Baton, created and first used two years ago during the Exeter Memory Baton Relay, as part our ongoing Cosy Routes dementia awareness raising project.

A group of Exeter Dementia Action Alliance supporters will be carrying our 'Celebrating Memories' baton on a route around Exeter city centre tomorrow, Sunday 8th September, taking it to care homes and other project sponsors. We'll be remembering people who lived and live with dementia, also our late Queen Elizabeth, on the second anniversary of her death. The walk will end on Cathedral Green at 12 noon with a minute's silence to pay our respects to all. This event is part of the Alliance's awareness raising for World Alzheimer's Month. We'll be going ahead despite the forecast of rain. Pictures, videos, and news of sponsors to be uploaded in coming days.
