I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK

Hi all
This May, I'm planning to walk at least a mile every day and possibly more, to raise money for the Dementia UK charity.
I am challenging myself to walk every day in memory of my mum Nesrin, and with every step I will feel immensely grateful to everyone who helped her and us through challenging times. I will never forget the support of family and friends as well as the precious support mum received from the magnificent group of people who loved and cared for her.
As I learned more about dementia it became apparent that nearly everyone I spoke to had in some way been touched by this cruel disease – I realised we were certainly not alone.
The aim is to challenge myself, walk with friends and family along the way, and spread awareness of this condition that mum and many of my aunts and uncles lived with for so long.
Hopefully this can go some way towards helping people and their loved ones live with dementia in the future. As I walk on, I'll be thinking of all those I know who are going through this hardship everyday and everyone who devotes their precious time to helping.
Many thanks
Esin
