Walk 62 Miles in October 2026

Help me reach my goal of £250

Join the Facebook group and the Strava club for Walk 62 miles in October challenge.

I'm walking 62 Miles in October for Dementia UK

This October, I'm walking 62 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!

October 2026 walk in aid of Dementia UK

Tuesday 29th Sep
Did this October 2025 hit problems with injuries but achieved my target.
This walk is personal as my Sister was diagnosed with Dementia at the beginning of 2026 .
She has regressed very quickly and from a very clever lady ,quizzer and once on TV in 15 to 1 is now really struggling and is now in a nursing home..
This walk is for her and Dementia UK  to help with patient treatment  and research into slowing this down  to extend quality of life.
My understanding of why so many people are affected by Dementia is that we are living longer our brain is being left behind and some of us get this tragic  ailment.
This affects close family and friends and it can be soul destroying witnessing the decline of a loved one.
Hope to get this done in October. Anyone reading this blog give what you can to my fund. It is much needed and will be much appreciated.
Regards
David Trotter

Huge well done for everything you are doing for such an important charity. I've called the dementia helpline recently and received some of the best advice from someone who also didn't rush to get the call finished! Fabulous work xxx
