I'm taking on the October Dog Walking Challenge

I’m walking 75 miles with my dog this October and raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.

An £8 donation could 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!

Dementia UK is a charity very close to my heart as it follows my Dad's diagnosis before he passed away in July. 
An incredibly worthwhile cause with people who really care about those diagnosed but also support to those who are helping diagnosed people. 
75 miles is a fair old distance but I'm definitely up for it ... Taz, my Patterdale rescue doggie, is definitely up for it! Christmas come early for him. 
Please donate ... I'll keep you posted on progress throughout October and thanks to all for your support xx
