Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

Help me reach my goal of £600

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!

On the 23rd we said our final goodbye to the best woman we will all ever know, Kitty, granny, the OG. ❤️ Yesterday I took a slow shirt dog walk just 1.3 mileS But today 25th I went to see her flowers properly and just have a sit and think and have a chat to her in the last place her physical being was, I’ve now done 78.77 miles in total for Dementia UK. nothing really when you think about all the miles granny must have walked over her life time, long into her life up and down that hill to her house that I’ve never once got up without stopping once 😂 I think of her with every step and I miss her every mile ❤️

Sunday 25th Jan
Obviously if you’ve ready the last post you know I got home on the 18th after my walk and added up my total mileage so far and realised I was less than a mile away from 50, I’ve completed the challenge and now setting out to complete 100 miles ❤️

5.1 miles - total miles now 49.18

Sunday 18th Jan
Now I know I’m so close and I’ve sat adding them all out on my tracker sheet that I got with my dementia uk tshirt for signing up (pics to come) I think I’m going to have to go for a short late night walk to finish the 50! I’m definitely going to set the new goal for 100 miles now and I’ve got something exciting planned for the last day too…

Short walk after a long day

Sunday 18th Jan
I only count my walks that I go out with the intention of walking for dementia if that makes sense, I don’t count my steps throughout the day or I’d have probably hit 50 miles in 3 days 😂 so wanted to make sure I got a couple miles in and it was a nice way to wind down before bed when my head was chaos

16/01/26 41.86 miles!!

Sunday 18th Jan
Main walk of 5.05 miles and then a short extra dog walk for the boy 1.22- total of 6.27 miles bringing us to 41.86, I am thinking of changing my goal to 100 miles …

The reason behind it all

Sunday 18th Jan
Life’s for living My granny used to say this to me and I always loved it because it really reminded me to stop and smell the roses and to aim to make more time for the things I want and try to make a life that was about LIVING not just surviving Only a little walk on the day I got this done because I was feeling a bit heavy and tho a walk is a great way for me to process and think and walk through my feelings I just needed a day to sit and miss her but be sooo thankful for all the bits of her I carry with me now, and now white literally and physically she’s with me forever Life’s for living and I’m gonna try. Here’s to making life the best it can be in honour of the greatest of all time, the best person anyone could ever know, legends never die.

Longest walk yet

Wednesday 14th Jan
Finally had the time (and daylight) to have a little bit of explore of the canals near me, I’ve been familiar places and been places I’ve never been before in my 29 years of living in the same place! But exciting really to discover some bits of history along the way

Back to it

Saturday 10th Jan
Back to it after being where I didn’t leave my bed, I’ve got a day planned tomorrow around walking so hoping to get back on top and some extra miles in, total now I believe is just over 20 miles so I’m still feeling pretty good about the target ☺️

Tuesday 6th Jan
Thankyou to absolutely each and every person who has donated or taken the time to wish me well or luck with this. It means the world to me. Thanks to all you lovely humans I hit my target pretty much in an hour and I’m absolutely floored at human kindness, your money will really help people who need it. Your support is really helping me and like I said means more than I could ever say. I’ve been encouraged to up my fundraising target and I have , so please share and tell friends! I’ve got lots more things planned for 2026 to raise money for similar causes and just to honour my Granny in every way I can, thankyou so much ❤️
