As proud supporters of
the Alzheimer’s Society, Hugh James participated in the charity’s
flagship fundraising event, Cardiff Memory Walk 2009, to raise
money for people living with dementia.
There are currently
700,000 people living with dementia in the UK, a figure that is
likely to rise to 1 million by 2025. Alzheimer's Society is the
UK's leading support and research charity for people with dementia
and those who care for them. Throughout September, thousands
of people have taken part in over 300 walks across England, Wales
and Northern Ireland. The money raised will be used to fund
the charity’s local branches.
On the 27th
September a Hugh James team took part in the Cardiff event, raising
more than £500 by walking three laps around Roath Park. Leading the
walk for Hugh James was Lisa Morgan, an associate within the firm’s
Nursing Care team. She said: “Memory Walk is a wonderful
opportunity to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer care,
support and research, calling on people of all ages to take action
in the fight. We hope to raise more money than ever this year,
which will go towards supporting people affected by dementia in our
community.”
Lisa was joined by
Nicola
Sidoli, Michelle Evans, Charlotte Brown, Rachael Lloyd,
Gareth Wisdom,
Sarah Cash, Eleanor
Dix, Julie Nelms, Esyllt Hughes and Katie-Anne Edwards.
