It's Dementia awareness week in the UK.
1 in 3 babies born today will develop dementia, it's set to be the 21st century's biggest killer and there is NO cure. 
It's an illness close to my heart since my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's a few years ago. Everyday is a learning curve, but thanks to resources such the Alzheimer's society website we've been able to live as fully as possible.
Dementia has not only become the leading cause of death among British women but women are also far more likely to end up as carers of those with dementia than men.
It's a deeply isolating illness and it's important to educate people.
There's ways to be involved this week, by either donating, campaigning or becoming a Dementia Friend through local activities. 
It's important to educate yourself on dementia, public understanding is poor. Becoming a Dementia Friend simply means finding out more about how dementia affects a person – and then, armed with this understanding, doing small everyday things that help. For example, being patient in a shop queue, or spending time with someone you know who’s living with dementia. 
Don't just skip to the next IG image in your feed, please take a few minutes to click on my bio link (the Alzheimer's society website) and click on 'About Dementia' to understand what the illness is. There are videos and helplines if you are worried about someone.
