I'm running 100K for Dementia UK

My name is Emily, and this February, I'm running 100K 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.

Dementia has a special place in my heart due to working with those who suffer from this disease, seeing the effects on not just the person with the disease but also the family. As well as this, in 2020, I  lost my great nan to this horrible disease. I want to support those with the disease or who are supporting their loved ones. This is going to be a challenge but i’m up for it🩵

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!
