Walk 31 Miles in May 2026

Join the Facebook group for Walk 31 miles in May challenge.

I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK

This May, I'm walking 31 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!

Saturday 25th Apr
Myself Alexandra want to take part in this as Dementia has affected our family, I love to walk all the time at many places so I thought why not do this in memory of my Auntie Mag. We all miss her dearly and she was a huge part of our lives. So sad to see a loved one lost to Dementia. Love you lots Auntie Margaret xxx 
Others are welcome to join in with me :) 
I have now decided to create a team so my sister Hannah is joining also for our Auntie Margaret and a few friends are joining to support the charity 💕
