As Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. taught us, darkness cannot drive out darkness, and hate cannot drive out hate. Only light and love can do that. So today, let’s remember our responsibilities to march hand in hand, to stand peacefully with dignity and purpose in the ongoing fight for justice. To organize. To mobilize. To vote. To believe, no matter how far away the mountaintop might feel, it is in our capacity to change our communities and our country for the better.

@SelinaWray It was beautiful and truly represents those of us who have FAD or are at risk of it!

@BrainAppeal @RareDementia I’m almost walking normally today! 🙌

@BungleGirl @RareDementia Loving the school bus 🤩 Thank you for your support, Sophie - you did so well! Wishing you a speedy recovery and sending lots of positive vibes 🙌😊

How did #LondonMarathon go for me? Only made it to the half way mark before I wrecked my feet but it was worth it the raise close to £1500 for the @RareDementia Centre that will help families like mine with a rare (often hereditary) that affects most in mid life!

It’s been a while since I was last on here but I'm fundraising for @TheNationalBrainAppeal by doing @LondonMarathon in April to raise money for the new Rare Dementia Centre!

@itvMLshow Can you investigate how on earth the DWP can have PIP assessors that don’t have to be qualified in your disease and then lie in their reports. This causes much distress and adds time and stress having to go tribunal to have my truthful experience heard and considered. #Torture

📺 We are back with a one off special episode tomorrow, ITV1 at 8pm 📺 This is our final episode until our big return later in the year… so not one to miss! ✨ Get in touch with your questions at MartinLewis@itv.com or in the comments below ⬇️ #MartinLewis

@eliistender10 Waking up to this today after the husband left for work at 5am whilst I was asleep. ❤️

Dear @TravelodgeUK, despite the best efforts of the kind staff attempting to make entry to our room at Covent Garden we are still awaiting the arrival of the manager who seems to be AWOL. The not so perfect end to a day of cognitive tests and generally being a human Guinea pig.

When trying to get an urgent NHS dental appointment is impossible AND you have Alzheimer’s so every attempt to try to get this sorted gets harder and harder. It’s been months and I’m at the point of asking Chris to pull my wisdom tooth out with pliers.

This was my baseline visit for the DIAN-TU drug trial. Another year and a bit to go - maybe more. Haven’t a clue if I’ll be sad or relieved when it’s over. It has been a very positive experience. At least a year more to go. #UntilTheLastMemoryFades #AlzSucks #FamilialAlz

@BrainAppeal @LondonMarathon @bernardsunley @NHNNMollyLaneF1 @UCLIoN @RareDementia I totally fluked a London ballot place for next April to go with my covid deferred place for NYC next November. Can’t quite believe it! Obviously, I’ll be fundraising for @RareDementia @BrainAppeal

Looking for a London Marathon ballot place? Look no further 👀 Run for #TeamBrainAppeal in London's most iconic run and raise vital funds in aid of the millions affected by a neurological and neuromuscular condition. Register your interest today nationalbrainappeal.org/london-marathon

@oliverburkeman I went into @Tesco #Lowestoft yesterday and I went to the ‘proper checkouts’ (I normally scan my shopping as I go) and I spoke to the lady on the checkout. I was grinning all the way home just from having had a brief chat with a real person. I thanked her.

Very relevant to those living with young onset and often rare dementias. Please take a moment to sign the petition if you feel inclined.

Tiny Barbara is excited to be heading to San Diego…

First drug dose on the bus - no idea why I put it off for so long. My original plan was to alternate between London and the bus but now I’m thinking straight to bus dosing all of the time. It’s so chilled AND I can swim in the sea afterwards!

@greateranglia Any idea if this will be fixed today? Any replacement buses?

08:55 Norwich to Lowestoft will be terminated at Reedham Norfolk. It will no longer call at Oulton Broad North and Lowestoft. This is due to a fault with a river swing bridge.

@wendymo94921768 It’s really lovely!

So happy with the driftwood and tin can gardening caddy that Chris made for my birthday and the salted caramel cheesecake that Despina made for me. A very stunning sunset dip in the sea last night too.
