I'm running 100K for Dementia UK
This February, I'm running 100K 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.
I vowed to run every day whilst my dad was in respite care, I hoped that would only be for two weeks, but his illness has progressed rapidly and seven weeks on, he's still not at home, so I'm still running!
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!

Tuesday 25th Feb Thanks to all of you who have supported me through the challenge. Today was the run that took me over 100km in February, with three runs left in the month. It’s because of your donations and words of encouragement that I was able to get out there every night and clock up the miles. Thanks so much! ShareThank you to my Sponsors
