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!

I'm off!!!! Challenge started

Thursday 1st Oct
This morning I was up with the larks literally. Putting my best foot forward.  I did the first mile round the fields near Albans Way and then another at lunch time.

2 miles done 60 more to do.

Please feel free to join me if you can. If not please donate so we can support together someone with dementia. Every penny counts.

Thank you for all the support and donations made so far. Lets push for some more donations.  Please feel free to share my page.

I will try and take a photo tomorrow and share.

Thank you to my Sponsors
