I feel like I have aged a 100 years since this. How naive I was about what getting a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s would mean for dad. The support is just not there for families and without Sporting Memories I would have certainly lost it a long time ago fb.watch/ap4kJOedPV/

One of the members in attendance was Dave from our Corstorphine club, who despite facing long-term health issues was able to join us and use his passion for photography to capture some of the racing. This just shows what the power of sport can do for our members and beyond!
