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!

My mum

Friday 26th Dec
Most people that know me know me and my brother lost our mum to dementia in April 2025. I wanted to do something as I have seen what the carers do and what the dementia people do to help and the advice they gave us.

Personally I need to get fitter and this is an ideal way to raise some money for a charity. 

What can I say about my mum?.. she lived to 87 but as the ads say we lost her a few years before when she used to forget to make a cup of coffee when I visited after asking me about 3 times  what I wanted.
To later in life barely remembering me and my brother. It’s a heartbreaking thing to go through and not something I would want anyone to go through .

I still have my mum but she is fading fast with Alzheimer’s. I’m not one for actually doing the fund raising but I’m very happy to donate
