Hi. I'm Pete Middleton, and I've finally done it!

I've been thinking that I ought to keep a blog that documents my journey into dementia since I was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in January 2019. A lot of water has gone under the bridge since then and I will document some of the more interesting bits, but more importantly, I'll record my life going forward as I live day-by-day and month-by-month with dementia. Please come along with me for the ride, and together we will experience the ups and downs of life after diagnosis.

In the time since that diagnosis, I have been actively engaged with the wonderful Alzheimer's Society, who have given me the opportunity to engage in some public speaking events, and even to appear in a recent documentary on Channel 4.

 

I have my ups-and-downs, but I want anyone who is newly diagnosed that you can "Live Well with Dementia".
