Walk 30 Miles in September 2026

Help me reach my goal of £250

Join the Facebook group for Walk 30 miles in September challenge.

I'm walking 30 Miles in September for Dementia UK

This September, I'm walking 30 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.

Since my husband, Kevan's, young onset Alzheimers diagnoses, we have found Dementia UK's Young Dementia Network practically the only source of information and advice relevant to those affected young and their families and supporters. 

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 doing the challenge

Tuesday 15th Sep
It took two years of misdiagnosis for my husband,  Kevan,  to get a his young onset Alzheimers diagnosis.   On the day the consultant informed us, we were advised to " go and have a coffee".  After that, it took 8 weeks before we had any follow up at all, including the diagnosis letter from the consultant. 
When we did get a visit from a lovely charity volunteer, the advice was all geared towards someone of state pension age.
Dementia UK's Young Dementia Network has been our best source of information and advice.  Their research and campaigning for funds to specialist resources and support for people and families affected when they are of working age  is  the reason I am doing this challenge. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
