We’re walking 30 Miles in September for Dementia UK

Why we’re walking 💜

Dementia has affected so many families, and unfortunately, ours is one of them.

In 2019, we lost our grandma to dementia. Then, just five years later, our mum was also diagnosed with dementia.

Living so closely with dementia and seeing first-hand the impact it can have, not only on the person diagnosed but on the people who love and care for them, is incredibly difficult. It’s also shown us just how important it is for families like ours to have access to the right support, advice and specialist dementia nurses when they need it.

So this September, we’re walking 60 miles between us (30 individually) to raise money for Dementia UK, helping them continue to support families affected by dementia and raising awareness of a cause that has become incredibly close to our hearts.

We’re hoping to raise £250, and any donation, no matter how big or small, would mean so much to us and will help Dementia UK continue to be there for families like ours.

Thank you for supporting us. 💜

3 days to go!

Monday 28th Sep

We’re officially in the final three days of our challenge, and we honestly cannot believe the amount of support we’ve received.

So far, I’ve walked 48 miles and my brother has walked 35 miles, and together we’ve raised an incredible £2,464, plus £341.50 in Gift Aid — completely surpassing our original £2,000 target.

When we started this challenge, we genuinely didn’t know what to expect, and words really can’t describe how grateful we are to every single person who has donated, shared our page, sent us messages of encouragement or supported us along the way. Every donation, share and kind word has meant so much to us and has kept us going throughout the month.

We still have three days (and a few more miles!) to go, so we’re not quite finished yet! If you’ve been meaning to donate or share our page, there’s still time to help us make this final push even more special.

From both of us, thank you so, so much. We’re incredibly grateful for every bit of support we’ve received. 🤍

We’ve reached our original goal💜

Sunday 30th Aug

UPDATE 🥹💜 We reached our original £250 target in less than two hours! Thank you SO much to everyone who donated and shared. We’ve now increased our goal to £500. 💜

This September, we’re walking 30 miles for Dementia UK 💜

Dementia is a cause incredibly close to our hearts. In 2019, we lost our grandma to dementia and, five years later, our mum was also diagnosed.

Experiencing dementia so closely as a family has shown us just how much it affects not only the person diagnosed, but everyone who loves and cares for them too. It’s also shown us how important the right support can be for families navigating something they never imagined they’d have to.

So throughout September, the two of us will be walking 60 miles between us (30 individually) to raise money for Dementia UK and help support other families affected by dementia.

We’ve set ourselves a goal of £250 and would be so grateful for any donations, no matter how big or small. And if you’re not able to donate, sharing our fundraiser would mean just as much. 💜

For our mum, our grandma, and every family affected by dementia. 💜

I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I had to go through the same thing with my grandmother so I understand what you're going through. Praying things improve for you all.

Wishing you both all the best!
