I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK
This January, I'm walking 50 Miles 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. £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!

Run 50 miles, Walk 50 miles in January
Thursday 25th DecThroughout January I aim to run 50 miles for Dementia.
This is a horrible condition that destroys lives.
My mum suffered with early onset dementia. Watching your loved one slowly fade in front of your very own eyes over many years is truly sole destroying. And as hard as it is for the family to see this, the person with dementia is often confused and frightened. They no longer know who you are or why you are keeping them safe at home. Sometimes they are transported back in time to their childhood trapped in a body and mind that is slowly deteriorating. The strain becomes unbearable for those looking after them with inadequate support from the system for the carers who are often the family. The carers too are trapped 24/7 looking after loved ones.
So please give anything you can to this cause that took my mums life and countless many others in the years to come. Thank you!
