Yesterday evening, our residents, their families and friends, along with staff and members of the wider community were treated to a very special inspirational talk with British adventurer, Guiness World Recordholder and Cinnamon Ambassador Louis Alexander 🌟
Louis’ remarkable story began at just 19 years old, when he climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise funds for , in loving memory of his grandfather, a former Captain in the British Army who lived with dementia for 17 years. That first expedition marked the start of a lifelong promise: to support the fight against dementia and to use adventure as a platform for change. 🏃♂️🏊♀️⛷️
In 2024, he became the first and only person in history to run marathons on all Seven Continents and complete marathon swims in all Seven Seas, pushing his physical and mental limits in some of the world’s most extreme environments, from Antarctica to the Amazon and the Arabian Sea. Last year, Cinnamon Care Collection were proud to sponsor Louis in becoming the first person in history to run eight consecutive marathons across all eight Australian capital cities.
At the heart of Louis’ achievements lies a powerful personal mission. Through his expeditions, media appearances and public speaking, he has raised over £50,000 for dementia-related causes and has become one of the leading young voices advocating for greater awareness, research and improved diagnosis.💙
It was a wonderful evening and Louis was incredibly humble about his extraordinary achievements and the adventures he has planned for the future.
And if that wasn't enough, we also got to enjoy a superb selection of artisan cheeses from local delicatessan Aubrey Allen and a carefully curated line up of wine.🧀🍷Special thanks must also go to the lovely Malcolm from Wenman Healthcare who was our unofficial wine waiter throughout the evening.
