An ex-Apprentice star has spoken of her family's heartbreak after her father got diagnosed with dementia.
Dublin-based entrepreneur Pamela Laird said her family started noticing changes with her father as far back as 2010 before he was formally diagnosed in 2016. The former Dragons' Den star said: "Through my father’s diagnosis of dementia, I am all too aware of what so many families go through in Ireland – the confusion, the sadness and the isolation.
"It’s at a time like this that we need to remember those alone and get them the support that they desperately need." Pamela has called on Dubliners to sign up for the Alzheimer's Memory Walk Fundraiser.
