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!

Gave up trying to get out this morning. It rained last night and washed most of the thick snow away which was safe to walk on and it was replaced with thick ice! No chance of walking safely with Winnie pulling me along. I note there’s a named storm coming now too! I’m sure I will catch up as soon as it’s safe to do so x
