I'm walking 30 miles in September

I’m walking 30 Miles in September and raising funds for families affected by dementia. As a family we know how hard this can be for both the person with dementia and their family and friends. I would be grateful for your support.

An £8 donation could cover the telephone costs of two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.

Please only donate what you feel you can - just your support to get off my backside and walk everyday is real support!!

Thank you!

Emma xx

Final day - day 30

Tuesday 30th Sep

So today was a walk around the Nottingham Forest ground where Bethan had a netball presentation. What a great way to finish the month of walking! Thank you again for all your support. I will carry on walking as it’s been a good thing physically for me to do. I am sure dad will appreciate it - just got to catch him on a good day!
