I'm walking 62 Miles in October for Dementia UK

This October, I'm walking 62 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!

Living on Dementia Street

Saturday 10th Oct
Some adverts say my mum died a very long time ago. For me my mum passed the day she took her last breath. Because I had to find joy and I had to be next to her, by her side as she lived the world of Dementia. I called it living on Dementia Street.  I saw and lived her journey for 8 years. From being independent to losing her mobility and being bed bound. My mum had also suffered a stroke. When she would ask why me. I would say sometimes we cannot ask why as there is no answer. We just have to find peace and live in the moment.  Some days she would say when are we going home, as she had forgotten or had no memory of the current house she lived in. So I would ask where is home? and we would go through all the homes she would remember. Sometimes she would ask a question what felt like a hundred times, but I would answer it as though it was the first time she had heard it. I would work and I would care and there were days where you couldn't measure exhaustion, but I would do it, because my mum was my world and my heart ♥️ A few years ago I did my walk for Dementia Uk, I chose this charity as it recognises, it is not only the person who goes through Dementia but the family, friends and carers take the footsteps with them. A year has passed since losing my mum. Dementia UK is the UK-wide charity dedicated to providing specialist dementia nursing and support for families and carers affected by any form of Dementia. So please help me support this cause by donating what you can. During the month of October I will be walking 62 miles, I am walking for my mum and all those who are going through this and who have been through this. This is, LIVING WITH DEMENTIA. With your help we can make a difference.
