Peter's story: Living with dementia

This World Alzheimer's Day (21 September) we're sharing Peter Lyttle's story across our blog and social media channels. Peter’s dementia journey was turned around when he met Dementia Adviser Elaine, and he’s now playing his part in the dementia movement by using his experience to help others with the condition. Read more about his story on: www.alzheimers.org.uk/WAD

I have worked with Peter and now count him as a friend. He has the strongest sense of mission in life, to share his story, to encourage others to live as well as possible with dementia and fight it through sheer tenacity, positive activity and humour. He is amazing. We visited a local high school and the pupils were fascinated and moved by his words and presence. All power to you Peter.
