FORREST’S Helen Speirs says she wants people to have a better understanding of dementia, a disease which her mother Shirley has battled for the past six years.
Loving daughter crusades for dementia awareness
Forrest’s Helen Speirs, right, with her mother Shirley Speirs and Siggy the dachshund. Helen cares for her mother who has dementia. She says she would like people to have a better understanding of the disease, rather than staring at people living in the community with the condition.

Hiding people away doesn’t help the rest of humanity. You are a wonderful daughter! Keep writing, taking her out and raising the issues!
Its a shame people aren’t more understanding, but stuff them… Just keep doing what your doing and enjoy your time with your Mum. Love the Poem too.
