I'm running 100K for Dementia UK
This February, I'm running 100K 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!

Why I am taking part
Wednesday 14th JanFebruary can be one of the toughest months of the year. The dark mornings, cold days and post-January slump can really take their toll, and this year I wanted to channel that into something positive.
So throughout February I’m running 100km 💙
Not just as a personal challenge to improve my own wellbeing, but to support Dementia UK.
I recently worked with a hospice and heard first-hand about patients living with dementia, and just how devastating this illness is — not only for the person diagnosed, but for their families, friends and carers. The emotional, physical and mental strain they face every single day is heartbreaking, and for many families these months are even tougher.
Running has always been something I love and rely on for my mental health, so it felt right to use it as a way to help others. By supporting Dementia UK, I hope to play a small part in helping families facing incredibly difficult circumstances.
If you’re able to donate or share, I’d be incredibly grateful. Every bit of support makes a difference — and gives me extra motivation to keep going 🏃♂️💙
Thank you so much for reading and supporting.
