Run 100K in February '26

I'm running 100K for Dementia UK

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.

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!

Why Dementia Uk?

Wednesday 4th Feb
Dementia affects more than 944,000 people in the UK, with 1 in 11 adults over 65 having a diagnosis of dementia. The number of people under the age of 65 living with dementia is also increasing, estimated to be in excess of 70,000 people in the uk. It comes as no surprise then, that dementia and Alzheimer’s disease are the leading cause of death in the UK.
Given these statistics, it is likely that most of us will come into contact with dementia at some point in our lives and for those that do, it is a long and painful journey. It is so important to ensure that the right support is in place and available from the start for both the person living with dementia and for their family.
Caring for people living with dementia is something I am extremely passionate about having spent a lot of time in my career nursing people with advanced dementia and supporting their loved ones. 
I would love to be able to give something to this fantastic cause to enable people to be supported, research to continue and awareness and understanding to continue. Even the smallest donation could make a huge difference!
