Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

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!

That’s it.  Thank goodness!  Some days have felt hard work. But I have stuck at it and thanks to friends and family have raised an amazing amount.  

Halfway through the month.

Well I’ve faced some tricky weather so far, but today has been a fabulous walking 🚶🏼‍♀️ day.  I am now at 36 miles of the 50 and I’m hoping to end up with considerably more.  
But most importantly Team Bourne’s have raised an amazing £1300.  Setting our target at £250 and worrying that we wouldn’t make it.  Well, we have smashed it 😍  And there is some more money promised.  Thank you to everyone who has supported us  ❤️

3.8 miles today in zero degrees. Feeling pretty chilly 🥶
