🌟 Good Luck, Gill! 🌟

This Sunday, the incredible Gill is taking on the Craggy Island Triathlon — and we couldn’t be prouder! 💪🌊🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️

At 62, Gill is diving back into this challenging event for the second time, raising funds for Healthy Options while showing us all what strength, resilience, and determination really look like.

After a tough setback in her first attempt, Gill is back — stronger, braver, and more motivated than ever. 💥 Her journey is nothing short of inspiring, and we’re all cheering her on every step (pedal and stroke!) of the way!

🙌 Let’s all send Gill our love, support, and best wishes for an amazing race on beautiful Kerrera Island this weekend!

📣 You’ve got this, Gill — we’re behind you all the way! 💙💚

👉 If you’d like to support her cause, you can still donate here:

🌟 A Huge Thank You to Gill! 🌟

We are incredibly grateful to the amazing
Gill McDougall, who is fundraising for Healthy Options by taking on the Craggy Island Triathlon on Sunday 28th September 2025!

At 62, Gill is tackling this challenging event — a 600m sea swim, an 18k mountain bike, and an 8.5k hill run on the stunning Kerrera Island — for the second time! 💪🌊🚴‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Gill’s story is truly inspiring. During her first Craggy Island Triathlon, she sustained a back injury that forced her to stop mid-race. At the time, she didn't think she'd ever compete again. But thanks to the positivity, encouragement, and hard work of the Healthy Options team, she’s back and ready to take on the challenge once more! 🧡

Gill says:
"I would like to say thank you to Healthy Options in a very practical way, by raising funds to help keep the charity running."

Your support helps us continue delivering vital services to people in our community who are living with or at risk of long-term health conditions. Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference. 🙌

Thank you, Gill — you're a true inspiration! 💙💚

⚠️ Emergency Alert Test

This is a reminder that the UK Government will be carrying out an Emergency Alert Test at around 3pm on Sunday 7 September. The test alert will be sent to all compatible 4G and 5G mobile phones and tablets across the UK.

📢 A loud alarm will sound on mobile phones – even if they are set to silent.

People living with dementia may find the alert confusing or distressing. If you think the person you care for could be unsettled by it, you can switch the alerts off in your phone settings.

To opt-out:

📱iPhone: Search “Emergency Alerts” in settings → Turn off Severe & Emergency alerts

📱Android: Search “Emergency Alerts” in settings → Turn off Severe & Emergency alerts (and other threat categories if listed)

Our 24-hour Freephone Dementia Helpline (0808 808 3000) will be available throughout this time if you need support. 💜
