Our triathletes were up bright and early for the 7:30am Dorney Triathlon this morning and absolutely killed it 🏅
It was a sea of green at the Olympic venue today, as our team were representing YPWD in the event village as Dorney Lakes Charity Partner.

When John was diagnosed with young onset dementia at the young age of 56, his wife & young children were left devastated. YPWD have been supporting their family for 2 years and Janet is now walking the Thames Gateway Charity Walk to give something back.

Our attendees with young onset dementia have been lucky enough to groom & ride the #horses at Enborne Equestrian Events over the last six weks. Alison has benefitted from bonding with her horse Marge, while Pam has loved working with Molly and plaiting her hair 🐴💕
