I'm walking 60 Miles in June for Dementia UK

This June, I'm walking 60 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!

Walking 60 Miles in June for Dementia UK 💙

Sunday 31st May

This June, I’m committing to walking 60 miles to support the incredible work of Dementia UK.

Sadly, dementia is something that has touched the hearts of so many families — including my own.

My dear Aunty Diane has been living with dementia for some time now and is being cared for in a home. Watching somebody you love slowly change is incredibly difficult. My Uncle Peter visits her almost every single day, and seeing the love, loyalty and dedication he continues to show is both beautiful and heartbreaking all at once.

I’m also walking in support of my best friend’s Dad and their family. Seeing someone who was once so independent become confused, vulnerable and almost like a little lost soul is devastating. Dementia doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed — it deeply affects the people who love them too. The emotional toll on families, husbands, wives, children and close friends is enormous.

There are moments of sadness, frustration and helplessness, but there are also moments where kindness, patience and love shine brighter than ever.

That’s why I wanted to do something meaningful.
So throughout June, I’ll be walking 60 miles to help raise awareness and support for Dementia UK and the incredible work their Admiral Nurses do for families facing dementia.

If this cause means something to you too — whether through a loved one, a friend, or simply because you understand how important this support is — I’d be so grateful for any encouragement, shares or donations along the way.

Together, hopefully we can help more families feel less alone. 💙
