Hi, my name is Don Thornton.

I have set myself a challenge: to cycle for one hour every day for an entire year - 365 consecutive days of cycling. My goal is to raise funds for Tredagh Lodge Drogheda Day Care Centre – Alzheimer’s Ireland while also increasing awareness of Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s is a cause very close to my heart. My Dad lived with the disease for over 10 years, and the support provided by the Day Care Centre was invaluable to both him and our family. This year marks the fifth anniversary of his passing, and I want to honour his memory by raising funds and awareness for this incredible Centre.

Tredagh Lodge Day Care Centre provides dementia-specific, person-centred care in a warm, welcoming, and safe environment. They offer essential services, including reminiscence therapy, music sessions, gentle exercises, arts and crafts, and personal care, ensuring that each individual feels supported and valued.

This Centre is a vital resource for the people of Drogheda and surrounding areas, providing much-needed care for those living with Alzheimer’s and their families.
