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.

An £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!

Close to my heart

Tuesday 30th Sep
Today I decided to commit to walking 2 miles a day for 31 days to raise much needed funds for Dementia UK. 

In June 2024 my beautiful Nana, Jean, passed away after a fairly short but never the less, very distressing battle with dementia. 

Every day without her feels devastating but as a family we will be forever grateful that she never lost her memory of us, even if she couldn’t always remember our names. 

Before Nana was diagnosed with dementia I thought that the predominant symptom of the disease was memory loss. It wasn’t until we were living through the diagnosis, hospital stays, and symptom progression, that we realised the disease is so much more than that. 

Dementia UK were there for us, to help us work through information, to answer questions, to listen with an understanding ear. 

In walking 62 miles throughout October I hope to raise some money to give something back to dementia uk so that they can continue to do the amazing things that they do to support families like ours. 

Friends and family, please donate if you can. 

Nana… you said to me one day, on one of the ‘sad’ days ‘don’t ever forget me’, that rings through my head time and time again. I promise you, I will never EVER forget you, just like you never forgot me. Names might be tricky to hold on to but love… love lives on like a beacon of bright light, my memories of you are rooted deeply in unconditional love so this 62 miles is dedicated to you, wonderful, funny, caring, compassionate, beautiful you. Jeanette Curtis. Nana. Loved and Cherished. Always!
