@Frank_Rothwell@Wrexham_AFC@RMcElhenney What a massive accomplishment, Frank! I want to be you when I grow up. @RMcElhenney suggested getting you a two week cruise to commemorate this incredible achievement but I of course talked him out of that. 🚢
Dementia is devastating the lives of too many people. But I know that research will change the ending.

following on from my tweet yesterday, i see that some think i was blaming Dan Wooton for my dependencies. I don’t expect people to understand the pain associated with being harassed in the very public way that i was for a good 15 years. but just because you can’t understand it, it doesn’t mean that it didn’t happen, it did. Peaches Geldof, Amy Winehouse and Caroline Flack were all bullied and abused, subjected to the same kind of harassment that i and many others were, and at the same time. it was the culture back then, we were fair game, because we were female, young, articulate, well paid, brilliant at our jobs, vulnerable and relatable, we all wore our hearts on our sleeves and spoke our truths. And for that we needed to be destroyed. I can’t speak for the women above and neither can they, for obvious reasons, but i know how trapped i felt, how lonely and isolated i was, how scared i was, how unfair and desperate it all felt and how substances and alcohol felt like the only way to escape.
Dan Wootton last night claimed he is a victim of a smear campaign by nefarious players with an axe to grind, that his accuser is running a campaign to destroy his life.
The irony is not lost on me, maybe now Dan can begin to understand what it felt like.
I actually wish him well, i hope that he comes out the other side of whatever it is that he is facing, and that eventually it leads him to a place of happiness, peace and truth.
Incredibly encouraging, and another hugely significant moment for dementia research.
A second drug for Alzheimer’s – donanemab - has been shown to slow people’s cognitive decline in a rigorous phase 3 trial.
