I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK
Hello! This May I wanted a challenge, and I couldn't think of a better cause. I know a lot of families who are being affected by this disease, so it's very close to home for me. I did this years ago, and I'm doing it again now! I will try to post updates throughout the month, if you can donate anything at all to ease the pain caused by such a horrendous condition I would be hugely grateful. Thank you, let's do this!
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!
