Walk 31 Miles in May 2026

Help me reach my goal of £250

Join the Facebook group for Walk 31 miles in May challenge.

I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK

This May, I'm walking 31 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!

Looking and understanding

Thursday 7th May
Sometimes watching someone we love with Dementia we see things ask questions but trying to understand what they were feeling but what I saw in Dad I wrote in this poem:

I knew your memory was not what it once was:
Slowly things began to change;
I will always remember that this journey
Was not the life you chose.
Your Memories grew more distant
each and every day;
I never once considered
You would end up this way. 
i knew and understood 
that it may take a little longer;
For you to understand
but with some help, I will be strong,
I seen and watched your moods change
Knowing you are human still
Dementia comes in many forms,
we need to spread the word.
Make everyone you know aware,
as they may not have heard.

I Miss you Dad

Tuesday 5th May
I miss you more than words will be every able to explain
Some days I try to accept that you have gone but my heart just does not understand 
It keeps asking why; why did it have to be this way?
Why did you have to leave so soon?                                                               
And no matter how much time passes those questions really never fade.       
Maybe I will never understand it  
Maybe I am not meant to 
But what I do know is this 
I miss you in the quit moments;  in the middle of my days and the silence of the nights.
And no matter how life goes on 
A part of me will always be missing you

It is hard watching someone with Dementia

Sunday 3rd May
I watched my Dad my hero slip away,
A little more each passing day.
His mind, was sharp and intellectual;
Now lost in a cave of deepest darkness.
His eyes were vacant; lost soul I could see;
Memories I hold onto and will never let fade.
I felt helpless and weak something I can never undo;
Feelings of sadness to this fate. 
All I could do was watch and wait;
A life well lived with love and grace;
Something that can never be erased.
Even in the darkest nights;
The love I felt as I held his hand could never fade.
I whispered I love you was so bittersweet; 
knowing Dad was destined for heaven above. 
The long goodbye the hardest thing to do;
And my love for you Dad will remain everlasting.
As you look down on me;
And I look towards you;
You will always and forever be my guiding star
