Harrogate jigsaw marathon to raise money for dementia charity
A Harrogate woman is organising a jigsaw marathon to raise money for the Ripon-based charity Dementia Forward, after her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease aged just 54.
Wendy Thickett turns 60 this year and has created a bucket list of 60 things she wants to do to celebrate the milestone.
On the list is organising a fundraising event for the charity, which has supported her family since her husband Mark was diagnosed five years ago.
There will be seven hours of continuous jigsawing from 12-7pm on Sunday at Geek Retreat on Oxford Street to see how many jigsaw puzzles they can complete. Anyone can join in and they are accepting donations at the following JustGiving page.
