I'm walking 30 miles in September

I’m walking 30 Miles in September and raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.

An £8 donation could 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!

Day 4 update

Thursday 4th Sep
I missed yesterday. Working from home and torrential rain. I chickened out. 

Made up for it today, walked into town to meet my husband and ended up walking back too, we even beat the bus home!

Dodged the rain for day one!

Monday 1st Sep
Working from home and its pouring down, bit the sun came oit eventually which made me finish on time amd get the trainers on. 1st mile (nearly 2) done and I managed to stay dry.

For Dad

Sunday 31st Aug
Dad was diagnosed about 3 years ago but we'd suspected it for some time bit tests had come back  as no. Then a few years later, after a stroke, although he recovered well, the dementia got worse quote quickly. The doctors, memory clinic, and support locally from Dementia UK has been great and we are very lucky that Dad is doing ok, ups and downs as those caring for people with dementia will know. So 30 miles in September is the least I can do, hopefully I'll raise my target, I'll do my best :0)
