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!

Never too late for an update!
Sunday 18th Jan I’ve been so busy walking I’ve forgotten to update on here☺️. I’ve been out in all weathers for the past few weeks clocking up the miles every day; I’ve walked in North Yorkshire, Shropshire even London! I’ve exceeded my initial goal of 50 miles by a couple of miles today and far exceeded my £500 goal . The incredible generosity of friends and family-some of whom I haven’t seen for a couple of years has touched my heart in ways I can’t begin to express. The donations made are going to make such a difference to so many families struggling alone who will now be able to find help and support from Dementia UK🙏❤️thank you. Share
3-4th Jan
Sunday 4th Jan Got a couple of small walks in between visiting family in Shropshire! Back to it over the next few days but making good progress with 19+ miles ticked off already towards the 50 mile target. Thank you to each and every one of my wonderful friends and family for showing support by donating. You know who you are🙏 I am more than aware that in one way or another we have travelled similar roads where Dementia has touched or is touching our lives. Thank you for caring. Share
