I'm walking 62 Miles in October for Dementia UK

This October, I'm walking 62 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. This is a charity close to my heart, having seen very close hand (my mum) what this disease can do to a person and their family.. I'm sure nearly everyone here will have been affected directly, or know someone who has..

 

If you're able, I'd really appreciate a small donation, or maybe you could join in too? I intend to bring my big lad George with me.. hes a lazy soul, so might take sometime as he frequently does a sit down protest!

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!
