fundraising challenge
yWorkwear has completed its latest fundraising challenge, following a pledge earlier in
the year to help fight dementia. Race Against Dementia was nominated as MyWorkwear’s charity for 2022/23 following the passing of its founder Mike Worthington to dementia with Lewy Bodies last year.

To make it even more of a challenge, Mr Worthington also drove both ways between Shropshire and Scotland as well, which meant a total of 1,500 miles.
Mr Worthington said: “Losing my father to this horrendous disease has made me determined to raise as much money as possible for Race Against Dementia.”
