Raising Awareness and Promoting Research on Alzheimer's
The Littlefords, residents of Wolverhampton, volunteered for Alzheimer's Research UK and received assistance from the organization in making the film. Mrs. Littleford expressed gratitude for the nomination and hopes the film will raise awareness and support further research on Alzheimer's.
Mr. Littleford shared his experience with the disease, stating that it has completely changed their way of life. He now requires company whenever he leaves the house due to worsening symptoms. Despite the challenges, he remains realistic and accepts his situation. Mrs. Littleford added that the disease is gradually stripping her husband of his personality, independence, and autonomy. However, they still manage to enjoy a fulfilling life together.
The Power of the Littlefords' Film
The Smiley Charity Film Awards, in their seventh year, include various categories, and the winners are determined through a public vote. Mrs. Littleford believes that winning the award would be beneficial in terms of educating people about Alzheimer's.
Alzheimer's is a debilitating disease that affects millions of individuals and their families worldwide. It is crucial to raise awareness and support research efforts to find a cure and improve the lives of those affected by the disease. The Littlefords' film serves as a powerful tool in this endeavor, shedding light on the realities of living with Alzheimer's and inspiring others to join the fight against it.
