I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK

This May, I'm walking 31 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!

Walking for my mum and dad

Monday 20th Apr
This May, I’m taking on the challenge of walking 31 miles for Dementia UK.
Two years ago, I lost my dad to dementia. He lived with Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia, and watching him change was one of the hardest things our family has faced.
In the very same year we said goodbye to him, my mum was diagnosed with the same conditions. She is now in the mid-stages of Alzheimer’s mixed with vascular dementia. Facing this journey again is incredibly tough, there are moments that feel all too familiar, and others that bring new challenges.
That’s why this walk means so much to me.
Dementia UK has been a lifeline for my family. Their specialist Admiral Nurses have supported me through the uncertainty, helped me understand the changes in both my parents, and given me guidance when I needed it most.
So this May, every mile I walk is for my dad, for my mum, and for every family going through this.
If you’re able to donate, I’d be so grateful. And if not, sharing this means just as much. 💙

Thank you to my Sponsors
