I'm jogging one mile a day for Dementia UK

This April, I'm jogging one mile each day 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. Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £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!

8 days in 22 to go!

Tuesday 8th Apr
So far so good. I’ve done a mile everyday so far and sometimes a tiny bit more so I am on 9.1 miles in 8 days. Ankle is holding up, which is good 😊 sort of enjoying it actually 

Day 1

Tuesday 1st Apr
Had a little jog to the gym on day 1. It was 1.3miles and garmin said it was a new record for my fastest mile! Must have been down hill! And pretty sure I’ve peaked on day 1 and it’s not going to get any better! 

Overwhelmed

Monday 31st Mar
I am overwhelmed by the support. So I’m going to be brave and put the target up to £500! Never dreamed that would be possible. My trainers (and ankle supports!) are ready to go tomorrow 

Wow

Friday 28th Mar
I am overwhelmed by the support and kind donations. £300 has been surpassed, so I’m being ambitious and putting it up to £400. I’ve been out walking a few routes in preparation for my jogging each day starting next week. 

Target of £250 reached

Thursday 27th Mar
Thank you all for your donations. The £250 target has been reached so I’ve put it up to £300! Feeling motivated to run and not let you all down. Thank you

The challenge

Wednesday 26th Mar
For my mum, who has advanced dementia, I will run 30 miles in April. Aiming for a mile a day but might do 2-3 some days and none others. Please sponsor me what ever you can. Every £ helps! 

For mum
