Peter Berry, a passionate cyclist from Suffolk, England, has spent the past decade redefining what it means to live with Alzheimer's. After his diagnosis at 50, he began taking on physical challenges to raise awareness about the disease, including cycling 100 miles on a penny farthing in a single day.

Berry’s passion for cycling eventually led him to meet Deb Bunt, a fellow cyclist who became his close friend and writing partner. Together, they co-authored Slow Puncture: Living Well with Dementia, and their second book, Patching the Puncture: Continuing to Live Well With Dementia, will be published early next year.

In this conversation with Being Patient’s founder Deborah Kan, Berry and Bunt share how their friendship has evolved alongside Berry’s condition. They discuss memory loss, daily changes, and the power of physical activity and social connection.
