On the 11th of March, Easterbrook Hall in Dumfries will be host to a Charity Ball in aid of Alzheimer’s Research UK.
The event, organised by Erin Cooper, aims to raise funds and awareness for the ongoing research towards finding a cure for Alzheimer’s disease.
Erin Cooper, the event organiser, has a personal connection to Alzheimer’s disease. Her grandmother was diagnosed with the disease when Erin was a teenager, and she saw first-hand how hard her grandmother fought through her journey.
“Currently, there isn’t a cure for Alzheimer’s,” says Erin. “But ARUK is working towards a breakthrough in treatment. I’m organising the ball to raise awareness and funds to help support this process. ”
The event will be a grand affair, with guests treated to a night of dinner, dancing, and entertainment. The evening will begin with a drinks reception, followed by a three-course dinner, and an auction. The auction will include some fantastic prizes, including a luxury weekend getaway and a signed football shirt from a local sports legend.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive neurological disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behaviour. It is the most common cause of dementia, affecting over 50 million people worldwide. Currently, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s, but ARUK is working tirelessly towards finding a breakthrough in treatment.
