I'm jogging one mile a day for Dementia UK

This April, I'm jogging one mile each day 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. Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £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!

One step at a time

Tuesday 22nd Apr
My mum was diagnosed with dementia nearly 7 years ago. At some point I realised I was caring for her, and wouldn't be moving out after all and then at some point last year I realised I couldn't care for her anymore. Every day she fights so hard to remain herself, which makes it impossible to be her daughter and her carer, but I am always humbled by her will and determination to keep going, as herself, for as long as she can.
In honour of this fight, and because I'm very sedentary post COVID, I took on this challenge to raise money for Dementia UK. I'd love it if you could sponsor me just a little, as I near the end of the challenge. I have made progress, although it's still a walk run situation, I can now run, at the pace of a feisty snail, about a km...compared with maybe 20m 3 weeks ago!! I hope I can make it to a whole mile by the end or at least this side of August. Many thanks for reading, for your support and love, and for your generosity in advance

Thank you to my Sponsors
