I'm walking for Dementia

I’m walking 30 Miles in September and raising funds for families affected by dementia. 

This is a cause very close to my heart. My Mum’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis made me feel helpless & frustrated not knowing how to help. I am still learning that all I can do is be present …just be present through her jumbled up conversations, kind while she repeats herself & patient when she is maneuvering through her daily tasks. A heavy responsibility lies on the main carer as I see this first hand with my Dad.

My aim is to support those families like mine who are navigating their own journey with different forms of Dementia.

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.

Every little helps & I will be grateful for any support that we can jointly provide to these families.

Thank you!
