A Bearsden man has spoken of his heartbreak caring for his mum as she succumbs to dementia as prepares to walk through Glasgow to raise awareness and funds for the condition.
Alastair Clunie's mother Mary Kathleen Clunie has lived with dementia for three years and is cared for 24/7 by her son. The 46-year-old has cared for Mary, 85, since 2016 when she lost her mobility and was later diagnosed with vascular dementia in 2019.
It’s been a tough journey for the family, only compounded by the loss of Alastair’s father, Jack, last year. Alastair is heartbroken to see the effect dementia has had on his mother, a lifelong dog lover and music fan.
