A dare devil pensioner has completed a courageous charity wing walk to raise awareness and help reduce the stigma of dementia.

For Delia Spindlow, from East Sussex, the cause is close to her heart as her husband, Derek, was diagnosed with dementia several years ago and now resides at Clifden House Dementia Care Centre, Seaford.

Delia said: “It’s hard when someone close to you has dementia. While my husband is lucky enough to be in the superb care of Clifden House, I still wanted to do something to raise further awareness of this debilitating disease.“
 
Delia’s wing walk challenge took place on 23rd September and helped to raise funds for Eastbourne Dementia Action Alliance, with the staff at Clifden House donating to the fundraising efforts.
 
Nial Joyce, of Clifden House, said: “I don’t think I’d ever be brave enough to do something like that! Everyone at Clifden House would like to congratulate Delia on completing her wing walk and raising money for a great cause - Eastbourne Dementia Action Alliance.”
 
If you would like to donate to Delia’s wing walk you can still do so by handing your donation into Clifden House Seaford or Ivy House Eastbourne.
