Jac Scott said:
“We want this to be a wonderful evening of art with a strong message that Alzheimers is a dreadful disease that effects half of us in some way. It has already impacted hard on our lives and we treat each day as a new challenge. Supporting this charity is vital to progressing research into dementia."
Lucy Squance, Director of Supporter Led Fundraising at Alzheimer’s Research UK, said:
“If nothing changes, one in two of us will be directly affected by dementia – either by developing it ourselves, caring for someone with it, or both.
“Fantastic fundraising efforts like this are driving our search for a cure to end the heartbreak of dementia.”
