My 60th Birthday Gifts for a Cause

Hi all

I know this is a long shot but I wanted to run it by you all anyway.

I'm going to be 60 on Thursday and I have had some friends asking me what I would like and I have decided that the best gift anyone could give me this year is to donate to a charity of my choice.

I was a carer working with dementia patients in a home and for 2 years I was a private carer for a lady with dementia in her own home and I've seen first hand the devastation this dreadful disease can bring so I would love to be able to do something to help, that would really make me happy.

I know our Carol in here is carer for her beloved husband who has the disease and I'm sure she will agree with me that this is a very worthwhile charity to donate to to hopefully help find a cure or at least slow down the process.

So here I am asking if any of you would kindly donate to this for my birthday. Anything as small as £1 or even 50p would be wonderful.

I do hope you can help.

No worries if you rather wouldn't, I won't be offended, but I thought it worth trying anyway.

Here is my page.

Thank you for what you're doing Queenie.

Of course I will be making a donation & want to thank anybody else who makes one.

They call this disease 'The long goodbye' and that's about right. You stand by helpless, watching your loved one slipping further & further away..

There ya go!..Some Aussie dollars coming your way from a 68 year old who still thinks he's 25 and is still waiting to be invited to join The Rolling Stones (Never let go of your dream BUt seriously, dementia has featured highly in my world. Professionally and personally. So it's a pleasure to help.
