I'm walking 62 Miles in October

I’m walking 62 Miles in October and raising funds so that families affected by dementia get the specialist help and advice they need. 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!

A massive thank you to not only the people who have sponsored me through the last 6 weeks but also to those who have supported me, been out with me and encouraged me for the last 100km!

A grand total of £566, before gift aid, has been raised and over 118km travelled.

I honestly can't believe the support and donations that have been made to this. In the first week it's broken the £400 barrier.
Thank you all so much. Now there's no going back!
To make things better, I'm were currently sitting in the top 5 highest donations for the October event!

My story

Sunday 31st Aug
Hi everyone.
I am looking to run a minimum of 62 miles / 100km in October to raise money for Dementia UK. I have been looking for ways to challenge myself with running and, after experiencing the impact dementia has on individuals and their families, I'd like to try and make every kilometer count. 

3 years ago, my incredible Dad was diagnosed with dementia. As a family, we have watched him struggle with his memory and motor function whilst treasuring the parts of him which have continued to shine through: his love for his family; his caring nature; his enjoyment of social situations; and his fantastic sense of humour! 
However, dementia has also affected us as a family. Understanding and accepting what is happening has been a challenge for us all, and it is something we have to go through over and over again. 
By running at least 3.3km a day, I hope I can help other families like mine. 
Thank you for your support and keep checking back as I will keep this page updated with my progress.
