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!

My Mum and Me 💜

Thursday 1st Jan
Over 900,000 people have dementia in the UK, a number projected to exceed 1.4 million by 2040 as the population ages, with around 1 in 3 people developing it in their lifetime, making it the UK's leading cause of death. While Alzheimer's is the most common type (60-80%), younger people are also affected, and there's a significant economic impact, with one report estimating costs at £23 billion annually.  

Caring for my mum as she lives with dementia has changed our lives in ways I never imagined.

Dementia doesn’t arrive all at once. It comes in small moments — forgotten names, repeated questions, confusion about familiar places. Over time, those moments have grown, and my Mum now needs daily care, patience, and constant support to stay safe and comfortable.

My Mum is still the same person she has always been,  kind, loving, and strong,  but dementia has made everyday tasks much harder for her. Things many of us take for granted, like remembering appointments, preparing meals, or managing personal care, now require help and supervision.

As her carer, I do my best to support her emotionally and physically while making sure she feels respected and loved. 

Let’s all help with the fight against this disease and the care and support that is needed.

Any donation, no matter how small, will make a meaningful difference. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page or keeping us in your thoughts means just as much.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting us during this difficult journey.
