I'm walking 62 Miles in October

I’m walking 62 Miles in October and raising funds so that families affected by dementia get the specialist help and advice they need. I would be grateful for your support.

An £10 donation can cover the telephone costs of two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.

Thank you!

Dear all,
I'm delighted to share I have now covered 66.5 Miles in 19days. I will continue to walk in the honour of dementia awareness throughout October, as its the commitment I set out to make.
I am particularly proud of this and so is the step counter on my phone!
I'm also incredibly honoured by the messages of support, the conversations I've had with people I met along some of my walks, not to mention the generosity of the donations I've received.
To say this month so far has been an experience, would be to say I've also learnt a lot, not only about how Dementia affects an individual, but also everyone around the person. 
I have also learnt that for my own health and wellbeing, getting out of the house/ away from my desk is as much for my benefit as it is to give those around me a break from me going on and on about fundraising....
Thank you all for supporting me, giving me time to complete this challenge and generally putting up with me :)   
Remember, just because I've completed the initial task and my suggested fundraising target, you can still donate.
please follow the link on this page or reach out to me and I'll support you with this.

Down to my last 9 miles!

Wednesday 15th Oct
I’m delighted to share that I’m on the homeward stretch and down to my last nine miles of my sixty two mile commitment.
I honestly can’t thank everyone who has supported me enough. 
Today was a particularly special day for donations as every penny raised was matched by a very generous donor.
Thank you everyone.

Thank You!

Thank you to all whom have kindly donated so far and have sent words of encouragement. 
I sincerely appreciate this.

If you haven't yet got round to this....What are you waiting for? haha.
My donation target has almost been met, but please do not feel this is a limit. the more donations the more support can be given to those in need.

Thank you , Thank you, Thank you.

Is a 2 mile a day walk for one month even that difficult?

Thursday 11th Sep
I guess it depends on who's asking and if they know me.....
For the past few years, my days are mostly spent driving to and from work and averaging about 2000 steps per day. this equates to about a mile, that sometimes includes a couple of short walks with my dog as well!

So yes, I believe by upping this to around 4-5000 steps a day minimum in order to cover just two miles a day will be somewhat of a challenge for me haha. 
Apart from going the "extra mile" everyday for someone close to my heart, Its seldom that I have felt able to take the opportunity to do the same for causes that mean something to me and others I care about.

Dementia care in some capacity has been my career for over 30 years. 
My career has enabled me to live a good life and raise a beautiful family. For this I feel fortunate and blessed.  
I am now in a new chapter of my life where family, friends and colleagues  are experiencing the affects of dementia first hand and to be honest, its a little scary.
With this in mind I want to do something, that means something, to someone. If that someone is you or someone you know or love, then even better!
I hope you will support me in my upcoming challenge this October and I thank you in advance for reading this to the end.
Isaac.
