Walking 100 Miles in January for Dementia UK

This January, I’m taking on a personal challenge that means a great deal to me: walking 100 miles in one month to raise money for a dementia charity.

Dementia affects millions of people worldwide, and behind every diagnosis is a family, a friend, or a loved one whose life is changed forever. Memory loss, confusion, and the gradual loss of independence can be devastating—not only for those living with dementia, but for the people who care for them every day.

Why I’m Doing This

Dementia is a cause close to my heart. Whether through personal experience or seeing the impact it has on others, I believe it’s vital to support the incredible work charities do—funding research, providing care, and offering support to families who are navigating this difficult journey.

Walking 100 miles is my way of doing something tangible. Every step I take in January represents hope, awareness, and support for those affected by dementia.

The Challenge

• 📅 When: January
• 👟 What: Walking 100 miles
• 💜 Why: To raise funds and awareness for a dementia charity

That’s just over 3 miles a day—some days will be easier than others, but every mile will be walked with purpose.

How You Can Help

If you’re able to support me, I’d be incredibly grateful. Donations of any size make a difference, and even sharing this fundraiser helps spread awareness.

Your support will help:

• Fund vital research
• Support people living with dementia
• Help families and carers who need guidance and resources

Thank You

Thank you for taking the time to read this and for supporting me in any way you can. Whether you donate, share, or simply cheer me on, it truly means the world.

Let’s walk together—one step at a time—towards a future with better understanding, care, and hope for those affected by dementia.
