I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK

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!

Hope for Dementia

Sunday 5th Apr

Losing my dearest mum to Alzheimers, who was cruelly dealt this disease at just 64, which was one of the hardest things I've had to face. My nan (mum's mum) both aunties *mum's sisters) and uncle (mums brother) also succumbed to Alzheimers.

Realising the magnitude of this cruel disease, I wanted to do just some thing to help somewhat. Even to just raise some money to donate to the Alzheimers Association, to help those and their families struggling with this debilitating & wicked disease, I will feel some kind of solace. So, I will be walking 31 miles in May, as a starting point in fundraising for dementia.

Alzheimers is ruthless, it strips those affected from everything they were, and ever knew. It devastates families and there is no cure. It's a terrifying & very real thing. We need all the research and help we can get to be able to, one day, make this a thing of the past.

Dementia

Dementia is a group of symptoms. It’s caused by different diseases that damage the brain. The symptoms get worse over time and include:

Memory loss:

Confusion and needing help with daily tasks.

Problems with language and understanding.

Changes in behaviour.

Dementia is progressive, which means symptoms may be relatively mild at first, but they get worse over time. There are many types of dementia but Alzheimer’s disease is the most common. The next most common is vascular dementia.
