MyWorkwear supports dementia fight T
elford-based MyWorkwear has pledged to help fight dementia by making Race Against Dementia its
nominated charity.
The workwear specialist has supported businesses across the UK with its workwear and uniforms for nearly 50 years. However, following the passing of its founder Mike Worthington to dementia with Lewy bodies last year, the team decided it was time they nominated a dementia charity to support. James Worthington, managing director of MyWorkwear, said: “With the first anniversary of my father’s death falling during Dementia Action Week, we felt this was an ideal time to announce our intentions to support Race Against Dementia and help in the fight against this horrific disease. “Having grown from the small manufacturing company my father started in 1976, it is humbling to be able to now
support this charity and help in finding a cure for the disease that took him from his loving family. We hope that with all the fundraising for research into the disease, there will be one day in the future when other families won’t have to face the heartbreak of seeing their loved one’s sense of reality and dignity stolen from them.”
James Worthington and Lauren Chandler from MyWorkwear
Race Against Dementia (RAD) was founded by three-time Formula 1 world champion Sir Jackie Stewart OBE, in response to his wife, Helen’s, dementia diagnosis.
