Guy, in memory of Roger (Dad)
Guy Massey
My Story
Join me in the London Marathon 2024 as we run for Dementia UK in loving memory of my father, Dr. Roger Massey. It is with a strong sense of irony that my father, a consultant paediatrician with a specialised in neurology, died of Dementia. He is much missed by his family and the wider community. He was an inspiring man, always fighting for the lives of his patients, working all hours to ensure they had the right treatment, listening to the ward nurses (who always knew best), gathering case history, and working on diagnoses and solutions for many young children.
Whilst his family was his first priority, he enjoyed good beer, jazz, rugby and telling a good tale. My father died in March 2023 after a long and brave battle. To the end his generous and joyful character shone through, even if his own memories had disappeared.
Anyone who loves someone who is suffering with Dementia has support - that is one of the leading statements I recently heard from Dementia UK. If you need help, you need to call them. Their inspirational Admiral nurses are there to help.
I believe that those who want help dealing with this particularly difficult disease should have access to the help and support they need to deal with it with dignity, all the way through. It’s such a long and emotional rollercoaster to watch your loved one go through the decline.
Dementia UK and the Admiral nurses can help. Help me support them. Thank you.
