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!

Day 3 - 4.03 miles
Saturday 3rd Jan Day 3 walk = 4.03 miles...Today's walk took in 2 churches my Mum was lay clergy for... St Marks and St Andrews. A brief stop half way at the community farm for a cup of tea ÷ I would sometimes take Mum there for a cuppa. My lungs feel like they're on fire, but very proud of my efforts Share
Day 2 - 2.28 miles
Friday 2nd Jan
Day 1 - 2.89miles
Thursday 1st Jan So today was a trip down memory lane with a walk to see Mum's old house past beautiful chalk river landscape of Wiltshire on the way. Many memories on this beautiful sunshine filled winter's day. Share
Starting tomorrow
Wednesday 31st Dec Tomorrow will be a shorter walk than planned... I've had flu and am still quite short of breath and coughing 🙃.... however, my Mum and my Godmother and so many others have had to cope with far greater challenges when living with dementia. So tomorrow, I will be walking ( probably quite slowly) to my Mum's last house, which should clock up a couple of miles...every little helps 😀. Share
