1000 Miles for Dementia
Join us in supporting Dementia Services at London North West Healthcare University NHS Trust (LNWH) and Harrow Carers by participating in our 1000-mile challenge! Walk, run, cycle, swim, and more to help us reach our goal. Record your distance regularly and participate at your own pace. Your contributions will fund the creation of a dementia choir in Harrow, providing therapeutic music sessions, and support activities at Northwick Park Hospital, including music groups and activity kits for patients. Together, we can bring joy, comfort, and a sense of community to those affected by dementia. Thank you for your support!
