I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK

As some of you know, Mum was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia along with Severe Small Vessel Disease back in December. The time leading up to that diagnosis was really challenging for all of us as a family, trying to understand what was happening and how best to support her.

Once we had some answers, things started to feel a little less overwhelming. The support that followed made such a difference, especially from the Admiral Nurses. They’ve been incredible - helping us navigate those early stages and giving us a clearer idea of what to expect going forward.

So, 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!
