Share this post and make the Forget Me Not Appeal unmissable 💙 We know that every Forget Me Not tells a story, and everyone has their own personal reason for wearing it. But too often, our stories go untold. But when millions of us wear it, people have to listen. So today, we want as many people as possible to join in and tell us why you wear your badge, and what it means to you. Whether you wear it in honour of a loved one, for vital support services, or to fund research – share your photos, tell your story, and make sure to tag us and use the hashtag #ForgetMeNotAppeal. Let’s speak up for everyone affected by dementia and show the world we stand together in hope that we can beat it. Every Forget Me Not tells a story. Tell us yours.
