I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK
This January, I'm walking 100 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!

Week 1 completed. I have walked 29.02 miles - New target 100 miles in Jan
Thursday 8th Jan Having completed week one, I have decided today to increase my walking target to 100 Miles in January. My dad is in the late stage of Alzheimer's, and it's heartbreaking to see the decline. The cognitive decline, loss of speech, the physical decline, and the inability to walk unsupported or perform daily activities. The waking moments are few, and I try to capture each one. This is why I am walking for dementia.
