In this episode it is my pleasure to talk with Peter Berry and Deb Bunt. Peter was diagnosed at 50 with early onset Alzheimer’s.

Previously the owner of a thriving timber business, Peter’s life changed upon the diagnosis.  He has emerged through depression and two suicide attempts to be a passionate advocate of living well with dementia.  A keen cyclist, Peter has used his cycling to raise money for and awareness of Alzheimer’s.  He is often seen cycling around rural Suffolk on his penny farthing bike.

Deb retired to Suffolk from London and found a new purpose in life when she befriended Peter.  One of Deb’s ambitions had been to be a publisher author and meeting Peter has enabled her to achieve this. Her friendship with Peter has also instilled a new-found confidence in Deb which she describes as a wonderful gift from Peter.

We talk about what living well means to Peter and the legacy he is creating through his work.
