I'm walking 62 Miles in October
Throughout October I am walking 62 miles. That's almost the distance around the Isle of Wight, and raising funds so that families affected by dementia get the specialist help and advice they need. I don't normally do sponsored events but have seen first hand the impact of dementia on individuals and families so when this poppded up on my Facebook page it seem to touch home. I would be grateful for your support.
An £10 donation can 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!
