I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK
This January, I'm walking 50 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!

My reason why
Saturday 13th DecThis isn’t just a challenge for me – it’s personal.
I lost both my Nan and my great auntie to dementia. They had different types of the disease, but the impact was heartbreakingly similar. Dementia doesn’t just take memories; it slowly changes the people you love, and it affects the whole family around them.
Watching someone you care about become confused, frightened, or no longer recognise familiar faces is something that stays with you forever. It’s a cruel illness, and one that too many families are facing every single day.
Dementia UK does incredible work supporting people living with dementia and the families who care for them
This walk is my way of honouring my Nan Joan and my great auntie Lily and of turning something painful into something positive. Every mile I walk is for them, and for everyone currently living with dementia or caring for someone who is.
Thank you for supporting me, encouraging me, or donating – it means more than you know.
