Raise money for Alzheimer’s Research UK with #JustDanceMemories

by on November 5, 2019
 

Ubisoft is joining forces with Alzheimer’s Research UK to support pioneering research into dementia. Its popular dance video game series Just Dance helps create happy memories for families, and Ubisoft wants people to share their special dance moments. Using the hashtag #JustDanceMemories, you can help raise up to £30,000 for the charity. If you want to get involved, share videos of how dance has connected you to your loved ones, and include the hashtag.

For every use of the hashtag, or share, retweet or Regram of the films, Ubisoft UK will donate £1 to Alzheimer’s UK. So even if creating videos isn’t your thing, you can still show your support by sharing others’ videos.

Just Dance Memories Alzheimers

To support the fundraising effort, and raise awareness, Alzheimer’s Research UK has commissioned a campaign film. It features Alzheimer’s Research UK supporter, Lynne Wadsworth, and her mum, Anne Bath. Anne is in the late stages of dementia and is no longer able to communicate – but her love for dancing still brings her enjoyment. Every week, the pair attend a dance class for people living with dementia and Lynne says she ‘can see something change’ in her mum.

Have a look at the moving video for yourself:
