Alzheimer's Society Ambassador Fiona Phillips diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease
Television presenter, Daily Mirror columnist, and Alzheimer's Society Ambassador Fiona Phillips has been diagnosed with young onset Alzheimer’s disease.
Our thoughts are with our Ambassador Fiona Phillips and her family following the news that she's been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
Since becoming an Ambassador in 2007, Fiona has been hugely supportive of Alzheimer's Society. She frequently speaks about her mother and father, who both had Alzheimer's disease, to raise awareness and support other families caring for a relative with dementia.
Fiona has also been a long term campaigner and advocate of the rights of everyone affected by dementia.
She has fronted appeals, TV programmes and events and has continually championed our cause to end the devastation caused by dementia.
