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.

From a personal perspective, I lost my dad in March at 88 years old following about three years of steady decline with Lewy body dementia. At the same time, my father-in-law is currently in a home with steadily progressing Vascular dementia.

Whilst I am nearly 60 and unfit with slightly arthritic knees and hips, one thing I do enjoy is walking. 62 miles is only 2 a day, so this should be manageable.

A £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!

Well done Colin and Kate. A very worthwhile fundraise. I’m donating with love for Uncle Frank, for his sister my Mum Irene cruelly taken at age 65 with Dementia, and many others that we know and love.
