I'm walking 62K with my dog for Dementia UK
This March, I'm walking 62K with my dog Reggie 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.
Last year my nan was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and although we are still at fairly early stages of the disease there have already been a number of hurdles that both my mum has faced as nan's primary carer and we have faced as a family together. Any money that I can make towards the cause would be greatly appreciated to help support families like my own who face this awful disease.
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!
