Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

Help me reach my goal of £250

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!

What's My Why

Thursday 1st Jan
The honest truth is that dementia frightens me. I spent nine years in various social care roles, including personal assistant, support worker within the community, and in supported living. Dementia care was by far the most challenging, yet the most rewarding, toughest, and worthwhile aspect of the job.

An ex-partner cared for his Dad at home with Alzheimer's disease and skin cancer, before he was admitted to palliative care. I never knew him any other way than frail and ill, but we made friends. 

Nigel Bates' story in EastEnders moved me to remember it all. It was well written and beautifully acted. 

When the Walk 50 Miles in January challenge popped up in my newsfeed, I knew it was the right thing to do. Walking kick-started my weight-loss in 2020, too. There was no reason NOT to do it.

I started strong with a 3.5-mile walk today and am already looking forward to tomorrow.

Thank you to my Sponsors
