It was early in the morning last July when Catherine received a phone call that changed everything. Her dad, Tom, who was in his 90s and already living with alzheimer's, had been found by a concerned lorry driver wandering the road looking lost and confused.
It was at that point that his family, who had been working almost around-the-clock to ensure he was getting the help and support he needed, were told by doctors that their beloved dad could no longer return home and needed to move into a specialist care facility for the remainder of his life due to his advancing dementia.
Almost a year on from his death, daughters Catherine and Clare, along with their other four siblings, are remembering their dad, who was 92-years-old when he died. As they prepare to launch fundraising efforts for a charity close to their hearts, they are speaking out to plead with other families to get help sooner and not take on the battle alone.
