I'm cycling 300 miles for Dementia UK

At the start of 2025 we had the devastating confirmation that our beautiful Mum/mother in law/granny had vascular dementia.  Although we all knew deep down this was happening, it didn't make the diagnosis any easier.   To know there is no cure or help we can give to Granny Craig is heartbreaking, we now just need to navigate our way through this chapter as best we can as a family and make life a little easier on her and our lovely dad as best we can.  Taking part in this challenge feels we can give just a little to help the cause that affects so many.  Your donation no matter how small will go so far.  Thank you xx

We did it

Sunday 29th Jun
Excuse my nightshift look 😴🤪 but WE DID IT. And smashed our original fundraising target feels even better than smashing the 300 mile target as this was what it was all about. We are so grateful for every penny as it will go so far to help so many families. A very heart felt THANK YOU for us both and our family❤️

Friday 6th Jun
Today was the first of our long rides, and it was a cracker. 26.66 miles a stop at Brodie for soup to see us the next leg and then a wee stop off at the pub at the end 🤪 as you do.  Spoke to a lovely couple who gave us £10 to help us reach our target, some people are truly beautiful aren't they ❤️

Go Carol. Dementia is such a debilitating illness that so many people live with, yet so little is still understood about it despite years of research.
