Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

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!

Why I am walking 50 miles this January

Wednesday 24th Dec
I’ve always loved being outdoors. Walking helps me clear my head, get some fresh air and take a bit of time for myself, so setting myself the challenge of walking 50 miles in January felt like something I could genuinely commit to.
I work as a Field Care Supervisor at Home Instead Cannock and Burntwood, and through my role I support individuals living with dementia and Alzheimer’s. It’s a part of my job that stays with me. Seeing the daily challenges people face, and the strength of both them and their families, is what prompted me to take on this fundraiser. It’s a cause that means a lot to me personally.
By turning something I already enjoy into a fundraising challenge, I’m hoping to give a little back and help support work around dementia and Alzheimer’s. Every mile walked is a small step, but it all adds up.
Thank you to everyone who’s supporting me along the way
