I'm jogging one mile a day for Dementia UK and in memory of my mum Di Bonner
This April, I'm jogging one mile each day 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. Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £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!

Day 16
Wednesday 16th Apr I'm well over halfway now, still running and achieving slightly more than 1 mile per day. The funeral went off very well and lots of lovely people made donations to my mum's three charities. All the money has been paid in to the various charities and a good total has been amassed. Very many thanks to all who donated! Share
Mum’s Funeral
Monday 14th Apr So today is a big day, mum’s funeral. People say it’s a firm of closure so I hope it will be. I know lots of friends and family are coming to help celebrate my dear mum’s life so here’s to meeting up. Share
Day 12
Sunday 13th Apr Harrie and Pete are here for mum's funeral so we all (Richard included) went out for a long jog. 2.5 miles and 40 minutes. I ran all the way and felt very good about being alive out in the sunshine with my family. Thanks to every one who has sponsored me - I'm still going and almost halfway! Share
Day 6
Sunday 6th Apr I decided to run my mile at the gym today. It felt easier than previous days, maybe that's just coz I was on a flat treadmill! Anyway it's been going well, I'm just praying I don't do too much and get injured! Share
Day 4
Friday 4th Apr I've managed really well this last 4 days, mainly because the weather has been so good. Let's wait till a rainy day and see how I cope. I think as I run I'm thinking about my mum who would have loved to be out walking in any sort of weather and I keep going! Share
Day One!
