I'm walking 30 Miles in September for Dementia UK

This September, I'm walking 30 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!

Just doing my little bit…

Tuesday 4th Aug
I am going to try and do my ‘little’ bit to help a cause very close to my heart. 

My dear Dad was diagnosed with Dementia & Alzheimer’s a few years ago. He is now living in a wonderful nursing home, where he is cared for, content and safe, though he is certainly struggling. 

The slow, but oh so steady creep of dementia is so, so heart breaking to witness in a loved one. 

It’s just not kind or humane. 

My Dad tries to be as positive, stoic and determined as always, as he fights this unseen stranger of a disease. 

We can only do our bit, be there, hold his hand, love him, be with him. 

My teeny effort of one mile walk a day in September, well it just helps me, and hopefully the greater cause, a bit…

Thank you to my Sponsors
