I'm taking on the October Dog Walking Challenge

I’m walking 75 miles with my dog this October and raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.

An £8 donation could cover the telephone costs of two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.

Thank you!

Missing mum..

Thursday 16th Oct
..a week ago today, my mum died. She suffered the effects of cognitive and physical decline. I took a couple of days away from dog walking to be with her, but the dogs soon reminded me that getting out into the fields, is the best kind of therapy. Love you mum x

Reasons to be cheerful...

Friday 26th Sep
I decided to get on with this walking challenge, as walking with my dogs brings me so much joy. I lack motivation to self care an awful lot, and so to be able to combine something I love, with a bit of a challenge, seems like a good idea.
My mum has Parkinson's dementia, and my grandfather had Alzheimer's. Dementia is sad to witness, and I imagine, awful to experience. Any support for those who are helping, would be amazing..
