I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK

My mom has dementia and her condition deteriorated quickly and she was no longer able to stay safe at home ultimately, it was the hardest decision myself, sister and brother ever had to make to have her taken into a care home, it hurt knowing she no longer had the capacity to look after herself safely, she was always such an independent, socialable, caring and well respected lady so knowing this was all being slowly diminished by this illness breaks our heart.

This May, me and my 3 daughters are  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!
