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!

Walking 62 Miles in October for Dementia.

Wednesday 29th Oct

I’ve walked 58 miles so far, with just 4 more to go and 2 days left in the challenge. It’s been tough, but I’m incredibly proud of myself. Living with arthritis in my ankles and being overweight means walking isn’t always easy—but I was determined to see this through.

More than anything, I’m doing this to raise funds for Dementia UK, a cause that’s very close to my heart. In 2024, my amazing dad—my absolute legend—was diagnosed with dementia. It’s been a difficult journey, and we know there are more challenges ahead. But I hope that by completing this challenge, I can help raise enough to support other families affected by this devastating disease.
