Walk 30 Miles in September 2026

Join the Facebook group for Walk 30 miles in September challenge.

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!

So close to that goal now. A massive thank you to everyone who has supported me. I truly appreciate it. The reason I am doing this is because I have personal experience of how difficult it can be navigating systems to get support for someone living with dementia.

Why I am doing doing this?
Because I visit someone dear to me who cannot voice their needs anymore due to Dementia.  This is not the only person in my life with dementia.  Needs can be so verified but support can be shockingly lacking. No one should be fighting for supporting and resources.
