I'm walking 60 Miles in September for Dementia UK

When someone you love is diagnosed with dementia, life changes in an instant.

Recently, my Dad was diagnosed with mixed dementia. Although we knew something wasn't quite right, hearing those words out loud was heartbreaking. It's the kind of news that leaves you feeling helpless. You wish you could fix it, take it away, or turn back time... but you can't.

What you can do is make the most of the time you have together, create new memories, hold on to the old ones, and support the people who are helping families through one of the hardest journeys they'll ever face.

That's why this September I'm walking 60 miles over the month to raise money for Dementia UK.

This challenge isn't about setting records or proving anything. It's about doing something meaningful for a cause that has become incredibly important to me and my family. Every mile I walk is for my Dad, for the memories we've shared, and for every family living with the reality of dementia.

Watching someone you love change is incredibly difficult. Dementia doesn't just affect the person diagnosed, it affects everyone who loves them. It brings fear, uncertainty and sadness, but it also reminds you to treasure the little moments, the conversations, the smiles and the days that feel like a gift.

Dementia UK's specialist Admiral Nurses provide expert advice, practical support and reassurance to families when they need it most. Knowing that support is there can make such a difference during an incredibly difficult time.

If you're able to support my challenge with a donation, I'd be so grateful. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help Dementia UK continue supporting families like mine.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for any support you can give. Every step I take this September is for my Dad.

FINAL DAY UPDATE 🚶🏻‍♀️🖤🎉 60 MILES? SMASHED IT! 👀💪🏻 I set out to walk 30 miles in September for @Dementia UK... then decided to double my target. And somehow, I've finished the month at 60.24 MILES!! 🥹❤️ Along the way, Dementia UK sent me a walking bingo card to keep me motivated, so here's 60 seconds of all my bingo markings and the miles I've clocked up! 👣 I'm doing this for my Dad, who was recently diagnosed with mixed dementia, and for every family affected by this heartbreaking condition. BUT IT'S NOT TOO LATE TO DONATE! 👀 If you can spare a few pounds, I'd be so grateful for a donation and I'm sooo close to my target! Every penny helps Dementia UK support families like mine when they need it most. Thank you to everyone who's donated, shared my page, cheered me on or kept me company. You've been amazing, and it means so much to me and my family 🖤 #DementiaUK #60Miles #Fundraising #DementiaAwareness #30MilesInSeptember
