Danny, 72, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease in 2022. He continues to enjoy a very active social life.

“It really helps me to keep busy and I continue to enjoy socialising with friends, going to the gym regularly, going on holiday and looking after my grandchildren each week with my wife Joan.

Believe it or not, I’ve also learnt Italian since my diagnosis! Life has changed and some allowances need to be made but I am very much living well, thanks to the support of my wife Joan, family and close friends.”
