One of the biggest joys in life is spending time with your loved ones, making memories together. So, it can be heartbreaking when a disease takes it all away – your loved one’s memories, their knowledge of family and friends, the very essence of what makes them, them.
But there is hope for people and families affected by dementia.
Alzheimer’s Research UK investigates the brain diseases that cause memory loss and other symptoms of dementia, like personality changes and becoming unable to carry out daily tasks. Our scientists have already discovered so much and, with more support now and in the future, research will find a cure.
Writing a Will is one of the most important things you can do to make sure your loved ones are taken care of as you’d wish in the years to come. A gift in your Will can also offer hope to future generations of a world free from the fear, harm and heartbreak of dementia. By supporting Alzheimer’s Research UK in this way, you could be a part of driving breakthroughs, powering new treatments and improving the lives of people living with dementia. Hope starts here and will, one day, end with a cure.
