Circle Earth Announce our Charity

* Every 14 minutes another person is diagnosed with Alzheimer's in England and Wales
* The Alzheimer's Research Trust receives no government funding and relies on donations to fund its vital research.
* There are nearly as many of Alzheimers sufferers as there are cancer sufferers yet funding for research is only three per cent of that which goes to find cancer cures.

Circle Earth want to help make a difference. I am very pleased to annouce that our nominated charity is now the Alzheimers Research Trust. For every reservation taken, we will donate £150 to the trust which is the leading UK research charity for Dementia and Alzheimers.

My paternal grandmother has suffered with Alzheimers for many years now, it is a terrible debilitating disease which strips people not only of their abilities to function on a normal level, but also of their personality and character. Occasionally we catch a glimmer of her former self, but unfortunately it is often short lived. Today is her Birthday, she is 82 years young.
