I'm walking 62K with Lottie for Dementia UK
This March, I'm walking 62K with my dog Lottie. I'm taking on the challenge for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support.
In January, I lost my Dad who had vascular dementia - a cruel disease that slowly takes away loved ones as you know them. Watching them change, forget, and struggle is heartbreaking. That’s why I’m raising funds for Dementia UK, a cause dedicated to supporting families, funding research, and one day finding a cure!
Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £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!
