This is an account of a year in the life of Peter Berry, an
ordinary man living in a sleepy Suffolk village. Happily married
and running a successful business, Peter's life changes when, at
the age of fifty, he is given a terminal diagnosis of early-onset
dementia. Since that day, he has learned to live with his very own
'dementia monster'. From depression and suicide attempts through to
his determination to confront his dementia, Peter has embarked on a
series of challenges to show that 'life isn't over with dementia,
it's just a little different'. Peter has now raised thousands of
pounds for dementia charities, cycling hundreds of miles in his
quest to show that life is always worth living. When Peter meets
Deb, recently retired, they embark on regular cycle rides and, as
their friendship grows, Deb is able to look at her own life through
the lens of Peter's dementia. In 'Slow Puncture', Peter tells the
world what it is really like to live with a terminal condition and
Deb learns to enjoy each day more fully. With a foreword by
best-selling author Wendy Mitchell, author of 'Somebody I Used to
Know', this is an inspirational look at both living in the present
and coping with dementia.
