Listen to NI football legend Barry Hunter speak with obvious emotion about his father Victor Hunter and uncle Iam McFaul who both suffered from dementia. Victor and Iam were icons of the game here in NI having been full internationals goalkeepers with long careers before moving into coaching and management. Both gave so much of themselves that they deserve to be remembered. We at Players Against Dementia will do everything we can to ensure that former players such as Victor and Iam are celebrated and remembered for all that they gave to us.
Barry also speaks of the devastating effect this disease has on not only the individual but also their families and carers. We will also work to continue to help those most in need and importantly fund ongoing research into this disease which is the biggest killer in the UK today.
We are delighted to have people like Barry join us to help raise awareness and support us in any way they can. Thanks Barry and see you soon.

Yesterday marked another tremendous milestone in the history of Players Against Dementia when our members Jimmy and Steph supported by Dr Mark Matthews from the University of Ulster presented at QUB during the conference titled Dementia: Caring for Today, Planning for Tomorrow. The first photo shows our committee members Jimmy, Pauline and Steph with our banner in the hallowed halls of Queens, surely a picture to be treasured. Well done everyone, we are so proud of you!!
