I'm walking 62 Miles in October

I’m walking 62 Miles in October and raising funds so that families affected by dementia get the specialist help and advice they need. I would be grateful for your support.

An £10 donation can cover the telephone costs of two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.

Thank you!

5 November update.

Wednesday 5th Nov
I’m nearly a week after the challenge has finished (and I’m still walking plenty of miles every day) and donations are still being made.  I’ve managed to raise far more than I ever expected. A massive thank you to you all ❤️❤️

Finished

Friday 31st Oct
That’s the last day of this challenge done, I really enjoyed the walks and doing my bit in helping  this charity. Managed to do a walk every day in pretty decent weather with only a few bad days. Racked up 156 miles in total which was more than my goal of 150. Thanks to all my sponsors we have raised over £400 plus gift aid takes it to over £500. ❤️

Update 15 September

Monday 15th Sep
Hi. I’ve decided to walk for Dementia UK this October in memory of my Dad who sadly passed away last month. The target is 62 miles but I am hoping to do many more in the month.  Supporting this marvellous charity and the work they do is the least I could do. It would be fantastic to do the miles with  support from anyone else, either in person or by means of a donation - anything would be greatly appreciated. I will keep everyone updated on my progress as the days, weeks go by. If you see me or anyone else doing this walk over the month please give them a cheer and words of encouragement it all helps. Thank you for taking the time to read this, see you out there, and if you have made a donation, thank you so much 

Thank you to my Sponsors
