Campaign idea: Claire is regaining independence

Diagnosed with dementia at 39, Claire is regaining everyday independence and finding joy in activities like knitting and gardening.

This story

After giving birth to twins at 25, Claire experienced severe fatigue and seizures that led to a multiple sclerosis diagnosis. As her cognitive abilities and numeracy declined, she was diagnosed with dementia at age 39. Support workers now visit Claire to help her cook, garden and knit, providing her family with vital support.
