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!

I forgot to post before… went to Stanmer Park in the afternoon starting at the lower lodges. Walked up to One Garden (dropped Dobby off for a haircut). Walked around the woods and back towards Stanmer Village stopped and had a mulled apple juice and a matter with Seana,  then collected Dobby and walked back down to lower lodges. On the way saw the beautiful full moon rise (Wolf moon).
