I'm walking 62K with my dog for Dementia UK

This March, I'm walking 62K with my dog Bodhi and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. As many of you know I walk most days so I thought why not make it count. 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.

This cruel disease affects my family and sadly for us there is very little that can be done to reverse or stop the deterioration. Your donation can help families like ours get support. 

Thank you!
