This podcast is brought you by Alzheimer's Society, the UK's leading dementia charity. My mom enjoyed

spending time in nature and being creative in the garden. Growing up, she played in a local park

with her brothers building dens and climbing trees. When my sister and I were little, she took us

blackberry picking every autumn, and later in life, she ambitiously created a beautiful rockery from

from scratch in our hilly

back garden. As her memory declined, she would take calmer moments to watch the birds and take

in a beautiful sunset. Now I visit a local nature reserve to remember her and her connection to nature.

One in three people born today will develop dementia. It affects us all and devastates lives. This June join

thousands of people proudly wearing their Alzheimer's Society, Forget Me Not badges. Every

donation will help beat dementia by funding life-changing support and groundbreaking research. Behind

every Forget Me Not is a story of someone determined to beat dementia. I'll be wearing a forget-be-not badge throughout June.

You might wear yours for someone you love, for someone you've lost,

or for the hope of a future without dementia.

Every donation is a step closer to beating dementia.

Search, Forget Me Not Appeal, to donate today and get your badge.

floriferous flower beds, abundant allotment crops or plentiful

pots.
