Dementia UK fundraiser
I’m taking part in the 'Walk 30 Miles in September' event to raise funds for families affected by dementia. Thank you for supporting Dementia UK.
There are various charities dedicated to improving the lives of families confronting dementia. The ultimate aim is to prevent and cure (Alzheimer's Research UK is on the case). Others, like the Alzheimer's Society, provide group or personal activities - Mum used to go swimming using her Attendance Allowance, and went to Singing for the Brain to socialise and eat biscuits. In Wiltshire, Alzheimer's Support has lots of groups too.
Dementia UK has a nurse-led advice line. Admiral Nurses fill the gap after the memory clinic has left you to manage. They answer the phone to people needing practical solutions to the challenges that can and will crop up. You can read more here: How we can support you - Dementia UK
They say '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!

Peaked too soon!
Wednesday 24th Sep So, it seems that regular walking makes 30 miles in a month quite achievable. I have therefore increased my target to 50miles, and gone back to my original fundraising goal of £200. That was the default, but I was feeling sheepish and reduced it. Gonna follow Chris’s advice and keep plodding 🫏 Thank you for all your support 😁 Share
Airport mini marathon
Sunday 21st Sep So, in answer to my (own) question, today I walked 5.3 miles. And 2.6 of this was getting through Luton airport, picking up the hire car, going to the supermarket and then the beach! Had a bonus swim as well…just as well as it reached 31 degrees in Grebastica. A long day, but it is beautiful here. Share
