March Dog Walking Challenge

I'm walking with my dog for Dementia UK

This March, I'm walking 150km  with my dog 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. Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £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 Dementia in March - Challenge completed.

Tuesday 1st Apr
Chuffed to announce that Gryff & I have walked 174 Km this month to support  this Charity. We usually walk 120-130 & I had aimed for 150 so am feeling pleased. We have also raised a whopping £385 so THANK YOU to all who have sponsored us. Never a day goes by without me hearing a conversation/ seeing people for whose lives this cruel disease has made an impact. Hopefully the funds raised this month will go some way to supporting these people.

Half way through the month & 3/4 through the goal

Tuesday 18th Mar
Managed to enjoy lots of walks whilst on leave last week. Gryff probably glad for a rest this week.
Only 40km left to do now - but also few fewer non work  days available i n which to do this. All is well ( 116 of 150Km walked by 16th March) 

9 days in & 59km walked

Monday 10th Mar
Just over a week in & very grateful to (& quite overwhelmed by) those who have kindly sponsored me. Only 1 person has asked me if G is wearing the bandana to warning to others that  I have dementia. I should have asked him to sponsor me when I explained what we were up to #missedatrickthere

First weekend done

Sunday 2nd Mar
Glorious weekend: made it easy to get the distance in.
10% done…… (maximising weekend activity as won’t get much Dow during the weeks)

Gill & Gryff walking for Dementia

We love walking . Everyone knows somebody affected by Dementia. I also care for people with all types of dementia  and see how cruel it can be for both the sufferer and their loved ones. We hope to walk 150km this month to help the cause .

Thank you to my Sponsors

You tell Such harrowing stories. It’s heartwarming to hear how Gryff lifts the spirits of the residents when you take him to care homes.
