I'm walking 30 Miles in September for Dementia UK
This September, I'm walking 30 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!

30 miles in September for Dementia.
Monday 17th AugIn September, I’ll be walking 30 miles to raise money for Dementia UK, a charity that is very close to my heart.
Earlier this year, we sadly lost my mother-in-law to dementia. Watching someone you love suffer from this cruel illness is incredibly difficult, and the impact it has on the whole family is something that is hard to put into words.
I’m taking on this challenge in her memory and to help raise awareness and much-needed funds for other families who are going through what we have experienced. Dementia affects not only the person living with the condition, but also their loved ones and carers, who need support, understanding and someone to turn to.
Dementia UK’s specialist Admiral Nurses provide advice, guidance and emotional support to families affected by dementia, helping them feel less alone.
Walking 30 miles may be a small challenge compared with everything families affected by dementia go through, but I hope that by doing it, I can turn some of the sadness of losing my mother-in-law into something positive.
I’ll be thinking of her with every mile I walk and hoping that the money raised can help another family facing the heartbreak and challenges of dementia.
If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, I would be incredibly grateful. Every donation will help Dementia UK continue supporting families affected by this devastating condition.
Thank you & much love
