March Dog Walking Challenge

Help me reach my goal of £160

I'm walking 62K with George for Dementia UK

This March, I'm walking 62K with George 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!

Day 9

Monday 10th Mar
We're making the most of the warm weather as we know that there is always another cold snap towards the end of the month of March. We have walked 26 kilometres so far this month.  Yesterday we walked through a local graveyard and I spent a lot of time thinking of all those in my family who have lived and died from various forms of  dementia. Currently there is  just one person in our family unlucky enough to be living with dementia.  I hope in the future that the disease incidence will be greatly reduced and that living with dementia will look very different and be a much more positive experience. 

Day two

Monday 3rd Mar
It was a walk of a thousand sniffs today and the sun was shining so it was a win / win. 

Day one

Saturday 1st Mar
The sun was shinning today, great way to start off a month of fundraising for dementia. This disease has killed people on both sides of my family and broke a lot of hearts along the way. It's a horrible experience for everyone and I do hope my fundraising can contribute to making things a little easier for those who have to endure it. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
