I'm taking on the October Dog Walking Challenge

I’m walking 75 miles with my dog this October and raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.

An £8 donation could 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!

Still walking

Friday 31st Oct
After 9 days wiped out me and Fletcher have slowly been building up and walks again. I’m a little behind my 75miles  but  I’m proud to say I aim to make it by Tuesday. Fletcher has smashed it with Jason and Tei taking him out but as a duo we have 10miles to go.
Thank you for all you sponsorship. Dementia is a cruel decease and this money will really help!! 

Nasty virus

Friday 24th Oct
Sadly I’m behind the target I wanted to be at after being hit with a nasty virus and my lungs having a battering. I’m hoping to get to target by the 31st….

Feeling proud

Wednesday 8th Oct
It’s been a tough couple of walking days with my bad toe but I’ve still managed 2 miles each day. I’m proud with what I’ve completed and know Fletcher will enjoy catching up on the miles when I’m back on form

Owchie

Monday 6th Oct
The sun is shining and I’ve managed a short hobble of 2miles coz I now have an infected toe. It’s not going to stop me! Got antibiotics so hopefully I’ll be able to get those miles in, in a few days time

Day 3 bad weather

Friday 3rd Oct
The weather has been awful here on top of a tough day in work however we managed to get a walk in, albeit shorter but we did it and Fletcher is a happy boy. 

Day 2

Thursday 2nd Oct
Fletcher and I have just had a lovely 3.4mile walk around the woods in Dinas with the company of a wonderful friend who “Flecthy floo” loves too. 

It’s great while the weathers so mild….
