Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK

This January, I'm walking 50 Miles and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. I'm taking on the challenge for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. £33 could fund a new dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour helping a family in the community, offering practical solutions and emotional support to cope with their loved one’s distressed behaviour.

Thank you!

Friday 2nd Jan
Im doing this sponsored walk to raise money and awareness about Dementia as my Dad was diagnosed early last year.  Hes still fine in early stages 🙏
We knew next to nothing before he was diagnosed so lets get more awareness out there for everyone whos affected or may be affected by this disease. 

Making a start today!

Friday 2nd Jan
Starting my 1st walk today. We had yellow weather warnings yesterday. It was so cold and windy with snow.
Its much calmer today the snow has settled. 
Jade loves the snow so we'll get going today! ⛄️

NOT LONG NOW!

Tuesday 30th Dec
Just a matter of days now. Id really love to do my best to raise some pennies and awareness for this charity.  Dementia is much more common than you think and can happen to anyone.  Any donations go straight to the charity, it doesn't pass through my hands atall. 
If you can manage even £1 helps, I know January is probably one of the worst months of the year financially, we're all struggling  
If you could even just share my post that helps reach more people. 

Getting ready!

Monday 29th Dec
Not long now. Im all ready to get started. Thanks for the sponsors so far, its getting closer to the £250 mark! Ill be making my own donation soon!
All sponsors/ donations are much appreciated, even sharing my page/link is a massive help! Cheers folks!

Starts 1st January

Thursday 25th Dec
