Description:
To cross an ocean under her own steam has been a goal and dream that for years has remained unfulfilled as Elaine was needed to support her mother Janice. Following Janice’s diagnosis of early onset dementia aged 55 she soon needed Elaine’s everyday support. For more than a decade Elaine proudly supported her mother and indeed gave up her career at that time to care for Janice full time, as the dementia slowly crippled her life. Elaine was with her Mum at the end… All the pain and suffering was over. Elaine feels the need to raise funds for this little understood disease – funds that will contribute towards the very promising work that is being done in dementia research thus hopefully preventing future generations from experiencing the pain and distress dementia causes. Elaine dedicates this row to her parents who she knows will be with her all the way and who instilled in her the love of the outdoors from a very early age and the drive that will make the crossing possible.
