I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK

As you will see below I’m taking  part in  walking 50 miles in January. My reason for doing this is because my late husband Stu had young onset dementia, he was diagnosed at age 56 and passed away at 63. We were lucky to have the support of the dementia uk Admiral Nurse on the phone, for which I was so grateful. Since him passing away I now work with Tibbs Dementia Foundation in Bedfordshire, working with the lovely people with dementia and their families, in the hope of raising awareness.

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!
