Summer Louise and her humans are taking on the October Dog Walking Challenge

We are walking 75 miles this October and raising funds for families affected by dementia. We would be grateful for your support.

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.

Thank you!

The End!

Friday 31st Oct
Today marks the last day of the challenge and a little someone is very happy about it. Unlike Dirty Dancing, Summer Louise did not have the time of her life. We're so grateful to everyone who has donated, supported us, given us encouraging words or was just here for the vibes. As the challenge comes to an end,  we're wishing you all a very Happy Halloween from our little nigiri (Salmon Louise)!  

75 miles!

Tuesday 21st Oct

After the royal hound also known as Summer Louise refused to go on a walk yesterday due to rain (see photo above), we were back in full force today with another walk. Even the best of athletes have a rest day after all. 

We have been overwhelmed with the donations received to date, thank you to everyone who has supported us on this journey - it’s very much appreciated! 

We will continue walking and we hope that people will continue to donate to such a great cause. 

20m update

Monday 6th Oct
Less than a week in and we've hit the 20 mile mark! We've always known that this will be more of a challenge for Summer Louise as she prefers sitting on the sofa being pampered. Unlike the Proclaimers, she will not walk 500 miles. However, she has been reminded numerous times that it's for a good cause and with lots of motivation and bribes we're out the door on a daily basis. 
Every mile we walk in October is for all the families that have been affected by dementia. Any donation, big or small, will help fund vital support and research. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
