Collecting life stories raising awareness 2013 the campaign goes on

 For the last year I have been collecting life stories, experiences good or bad to raise awareness on both dementia and caring, I have taken the life stories to Government, local authorities, NHS and beyond. In 2012 I was caring for my mum Joan and had been for the last 5 years till she sadly passed away on September 22^nd, then I was raising awareness during  my respite hours .for 2013 this will be my full time focus ,I hope you can help me by adding you’re thoughts ,opinions or life stories to add to the hundreds already received and help with the ongoing and new awareness plans and projects I have

You can add yours at tommy@i-woz-there.com  

My promise is to take those stories as I have done to the people who need to read them and raise more understanding on how we live and feel, they say the pen is mightier than the sword I hope my campaign of words helps prove this

Thank you

Tommy
