Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK

This January, I'm walking 50 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.

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!

Hi all
I’ve completed 42.63 miles of my 50 mile challenge… so only another 7.37 miles to go. 
Although I’m not walking today due to the heavy rain and wind I’ve been surprised that I have enjoyed a couple of my walks in the rain.   
Friday will be the first anniversary of my mother in law’s death.  Thankfully her great care home staff carried out the majority of her care but I’m acutely aware that the support of Admiral nurses would have been essential if she had been living at home. 
If you feel able please support their great work.
