Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK

This January, I’m walking 50 miles (80.467 km) in memory of my wonderful gran, Irene Shaw, who sadly passed away last year due to Alzheimer’s.

My Mum will also be joining me take on this challenge to honour Gran, to keep her memory alive, and to raise vital funds and awareness for dementia - a condition that affects so many families. Every step we take is for Gran, and for everyone living with dementia and those who love and care for them.

Thank you for supporting us, cheering us on, and helping us make a difference one step at a time 💙💛
