I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK

This May, I'm walking 31 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!

The Long Goodbye

Sunday 26th Apr
My Dad “Bob” was diagnosed with vascular dementia late last year and having to quickly navigate how to care for a loved one who was so very capable suddenly changing both physically and mentally has been all consuming for our family. 
Dementia Uk help support families/carers/sufferers in the day to day of living with this diagnosis. 
The charity relies on donations and I hope that by taking time out each day in May to walk a mile for Dad and other sufferers will help this amazing organisation. 
You never know whether you, or someone you know, will benefit from the advice and support they give to improve the lives of dementia sufferers and their carers.  
If you feel able to sponsor me along the way that would be awesome! 🙌 

Thank you to my Sponsors
