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 DID IT.

Sunday 1st Feb
On the 28th January my stats were a whopping 61.17 miles!!!! 
This was by far the hardest walking challenge I have ever done. In the past I probably would have done it in a week. Or a couple days if I had the time. But life likes to throw a curveball. 
Hopefully I can get a full mileage count soon when Fitbit give me access to my records.

Day 23

Friday 23rd Jan
Quick count up and converting km to miles, the total I have done so far (not including today) is…..
48.9 miles!!!!!!
Unfortunately my gym physio was cancelled today (transport issue) so I’m on my own.  Best put my trainers on and find a friend… Kaaaaaay!!!!!
