Challenge becoming challenging!

Sunday 18th Jan As the days go past I am lagging further behind, weather, time and now the flu bug to contend with. Hope to shrug it off quickly and get back out there to catch up and then get this challenge done! Share

Walk 7 and 8

Tuesday 13th Jan Took dad out for a walk yesterday for walk 7, just me and him. Was nice to enjoy his company for an hour even if he didn’t really know who I was. Share

Walk 6

Sunday 11th Jan A short one today, would have been easy to park outside the venue but no I parked as far away as time allowed and got just over half a mile in! More to catch up on but I will! Share

Walk 5

Saturday 10th Jan Playing catch up in the cold today. Almost managed 5 miles so just over 3 miles to still catch up on.  Share

Walk 4

Wednesday 7th Jan Later than usual but almost 2 miles done today  Share

Walk 3

Tuesday 6th Jan A tiny bit of snow but got a couple of miles done Share

Walk 2

Sunday 4th Jan A bit further today but still some miles to catch up on. Running total is 3.6 miles Share

First walk done yesterday

Sunday 4th Jan Had my eldest here so didn’t start on January 1st, walking them to the station yesterday was my first walk of the month. Share

First challenge of 2026

Thursday 11th Dec With dad and mum both diagnosed with dementia 2026 is going to be a challenging year for my brother and I caring for them and each other and for me working and caring for my family too. Raising money if possible an more awareness for dementia in its many forms along with a bit of wellbeing for me has got to be a priority amongst everything else though so this challenge is the prefect way to start the year!
