Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

Help me reach my goal of £100

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 💙💛

Friday 30th Jan
Feeling a bit emotional! 🥹

450m to go!

Thursday 29th Jan
I’m soooo close! I have been out for a couple of runs this month too but I chose not to count the mileage as it’s a walking challenge! Those miles were just some cheeky extras 😉

3.54km done & dusted!!

Wednesday 28th Jan
The end of the challenge is in sight but I will keep on walking as I’ve learnt to love it… and the weather will only keep getting better until after Summer 🥰

A little bit more time allowed for an extra bit of mileage!

Tuesday 27th Jan

3.25km & over £700 raised!!

Monday 26th Jan
Wow. Feeling very thankful for all the support 💕

3.10km with Mum & Grandad

Wearing our charity T-shirts with pride today! Stopped off for a coffee and the cafe owner donated £20 🥹 Grandad has already hit the 50mile mark. What an inspiration he is 🫶

3.22km & more donations have come through! 😍

Friday 23rd Jan
Switched up the route today and feeling thankful for all the donations. We’ve raised so much more than we anticipated - all going to an amazing charity 💕

Another 3.08km means a total so far of 41.31km = 25.669 miles SO I’m just over half way!! 👏 Very thankful for the weather being on side and making this slightly easier so I can walk in the daylight. Please stay that way, weather! 🙏 ❄️ ⛅️
