I'm walking 62 miles in May
I’m walking 62 miles in May 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 £8 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!

My Reason for taking the 62 miles in May Challenge
Wednesday 7th May My Late Father was Diagnosed with Alzheimers in November 2014 (they caught it early) As his son I took on the role as his Carer willingly having him move into my flat with me (reluctantly on his part at first) & over the following 5 years we fought this horrible disease together.Through the good times & the traumatic ones I watched this Clever, Smart Man wither away from the inside leaving him merely a shadow of himself.After 5 years his Alzheimers had gotten too much for me to look after him the way he needed & after several sleepless weeks of worrying & severe GUILT my Dad had to move into a carehome.For the next 4 yrs 11 months I would visit him daily (except during COVID times where I'd either video call him daily or stand outside the carehome & we'd talk on the phone while he stood at his bedroom window looking down at me) Sadly My Dad passed away on December 27th 2024 and it's in his Memory that I'm doing this challenge. *** IN MEMORY OF JIM McKAY **" ShareThank you to my Sponsors
