The Lewy Body Society’s annual Scarf for Lewy event has seen a mile of homemade scarves wrapped around Manchester’s Central Hall to raise awareness of Lewy body dementia.
CEO of the Lewy Body Society, Jacqui Cannon, says:
“It is wonderful that wool has brought all our supporters together again in such a colourful and cosy way. People with Lewy body dementia and their families face a struggle from getting a proper diagnosis to coping with care at home and the inevitable fears about the future. It can be very challenging to live with. When they might feel like they are unravelling, we are here to give them a warm hug while we campaign for better support and more research into the disease.”
