Friends of a mum who was diagnosed with dementia at just 34 have finished an eight-mile eight-mile walk for charity. Holly Braithwaite Frontotemporal dementia (FTD).
She is believed to be one of the youngest people in the UK dianosed with the condition. She first started showing symptoms in 2019 but thought she had post-natal depression, as she'd not long given birth to her daughter Alba, Teeside Live reports.
Holly's two school friends Sophie Poulton, 33, and Kayleigh Spooner, 34, organised the eight-mile walk to celebrate their beloved friend, and were joined by over 80 people on the trek from Glaisdale to Goathland. The group raised a whopping £7,000 for Rare Dementia Support, a service funded by The National Brain Appeal, which became a lifeline for Holly, her husband Alex, and her mother Chris.
