"Hello and welcome to 'My Dementia Experiences.' I'm your host, Roy Eccleston, known to many as Big Gee. It's an honor to have you join me today as we embark on a deeply personal journey that's been 11 years in the making.
I'm not just a DJ, radio presenter, Entrepreneur or social media figure. I'm a son. A caregiver. A fellow traveler on this challenging road called dementia. My purpose in creating this podcast series is rooted in the heart, for it's a journey that started 11 years ago when my mother was diagnosed with dementia.
Dementia is a journey that doesn't discriminate; it touches lives across communities, and it's a topic that's deeply significant in my life.
Through this series, We hope to shine a light on the countless families, like ours, who've been impacted by dementia.
So why is this topic so significant?
It's significant because it's not just a medical condition; it's an emotional journey, a life-changing experience, and a test of resilience. It's a journey that doesn't come with a roadmap, but with determination and love, we navigate it together.
My Team invite you to join us in this exploration of my teams personal journey, our ups, our downs, and the moments that have shaped us as a caregivers. Together, we'll discuss the challenges and the triumphs, and most importantly, share our stories, because no one should face this journey alone.
