Thanks to a random Tweet from Alison Moyet the 1Minute Memory project for Alzheimer's Society by Dave Kirkwood caught his eye! Ralph's previously blogged his creative 3hundredand65 charity project so it was no surprise to see how ambitious 1MinuteMemory is.
Sadly, his Father died on Friday 13th June 2014. He had been suffering from Vascular Dementia and complications associated with it. It had been a painful time for his whole family as it’s a cruel illness.
So on June 13th 2015 he'll be in a Manchester venue and draw a portrait every minute for 24 hours thus creating a 24 hour charity event for dementia charities entitled 1MinuteMemory.
The title comes from his family's experience with his Father...
"Before he lost all sense of himself and those around him completely he would forget a face in a minute." "you could literally walk in and out of the room and he’d have forgotten you."

Don’t say you can’t draw! Of course you can, anyway who expects an incredibly detailed likeness of the person! You’ve only got a minute. Just capture something about the person. A few quick lines can say as much as a photo-real drawing ( more sometimes). Have fun, these are meant to be happy memories.
