Laura Borrell, 39, from Hertfordshire, has been diagnosed with frontotemporal degenerative dementia and is fundraising so that
she can make memories with her husband before hers are ‘taken away’.
The Fundraising is so that Laura and her husband can have one last
road trip before her memories are ‘taken away’.
Laura, had to
give up a law degree and became afraid to leave the house when she found
herself easily confused, forgetful and struggled with her speech.
In June 2015
tests revealed she had frontotemporal degenerative dementia - a condition very
rarely seen in anyone under the age 65.
Medics do not know how quickly her cognitive functions will decline, but
Laura Borrell, has been warned she will lose her short-term memory, forget
familiar people and eventually become reliant on her husband.
The couple have now created a Go Fund Me page in
the hope of raising funds so they can go on a road trip around America before
Mrs Borrell's memory declines.
They have raised £1,600 so far and say they are in a 'race against time'
to create special memories together.
