Jog 1 Mile a Day in April

I'm jogging one mile a day for Dementia UK

This April, I'm jogging one mile each day 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.

I lost my Dad to Lewy body dementia in June 2023. Lewy body dementia causes problems with thinking, movement, mood, and behaviour. My Dad struggled with many different symptoms and often there were no explanations as to why, or how to support him. My mum was his carer for around 8 years and benefitted greatly from the support charities like dementia uk can provide. 

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £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!
