In a video launched today, Kyle Walker, Ivan Toney and Jarrad Branthwaite were invited by Alzheimer’s Society to try on the suit and walk in the shoes of people living with dementia to help raise awareness of dementia and its symptoms, as part of The Football Association (FA) and Alzheimer’s Society’s official charity partnership.
