Dean SMITH

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!

Hi Deano, I'm Birmingham born, I've lived in the states since 1967. Currently live in FL. I appreciated the fact that you took the time to have a photo with me at an Orlando City game during pre game warmups. I had a Villa top on and will always remember the smile when you saw it. My Mom is currently suffering with dementia. Thank you for doing this. Even though I'm an OC season ticket holder, I rout for you to do well at Charlotte. UTV!!
