Stan and Denise Lintern
Family man Stan Lintern was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 1996.
Stan had a long career as an electrical engineer with the NHS while bringing up three sons with his wife, Denise.
Stan was also a talented premier league table tennis player, but as the dementia took hold, his life changed dramatically.
While out shopping, Stan used to wander off and, as he liked children, would approach them and strike up a conversation which obviously worried their parents. So Denise made a badge saying 'I'm Stan and I have Alzheimer's' which made things much easier.
Now Stan is unable to walk and doesn't speak. However he is much loved and surrounded by a large, and loving, family.
These have been made possible by a generous legacy from Mr George Leonidas Embiricos.
There are more than 750,000 people in the UK affected by dementia with numbers set to rise to 1 million by 2021. More than half of these have Alzheimer's disease.
Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading care and research charity for people with dementia and those who care for them.

I'm working on a report about the research of Alzheimer's Disease. I'm very happy, that i found this Video! It's so moving to see, how this woman loves her husband still so much. That's (almost) all that people with Alzheimer's need - true love and affection.
