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!

Only 20 More Miles to go!

Saturday 18th Oct
Hello Everyone!

So we’ve just passed the half way point in the month and I’ve clocked up 42 miles so far towards Dementia UK’s challenge to Walk 62 Miles in October 😊

With only 20 more miles to go I’m delighted to report that thanks to your kind generosity I’ve raised £334 to date! That’s brilliant and every penny donated goes towards supporting the  kindhearted work of this charity. 

With two more weeks to go I’d love to be be able to raise £500 and smash the 62 mile target in the process. I’m enjoying getting out and about, walking new routes and taking in the autumn colours whilst knowing every step counts towards this fundraising effort. 

Thank you all and stay tuned folks for further updates!

Best wishes,

James.

Fundraising Update!

Monday 6th Oct
Hi Everyone

Thanks to your kindness and generosity I have raised an amazing £324 so far as I tackle Dementia UK’s Walk 62 Miles in October!

This surpasses all my expectations and I’m truly delighted. 

I’m nearly a week into the challenge now and I’ve covered 16.3 miles so far as I spent time away in Cornwall walking the stunning South West Coast Path and exploring the southernmost reaches of this beautiful county. 

With three weeks to go and my brother visiting from Ireland this week I’m setting myself a new  target of raising £500 for Dementia UK. 

Your support and encouragement means everything to me and if you’re able to make even a small sponsorship donation every penny raised goes straight to a fantastic cause that provides invaluable care, support and advice for those battling dementia. 

Thank you!

James. 

Why I’m walking 62 miles for Dementia UK this October

Monday 6th Oct
I’ve signed up to Dementia UK’s Walk 62 Miles in October in memory of my great aunt and my Nan who is suffering with this cruel disease. 

I’ve seen and experienced first hand the heart break  that dementia causes to its victims; their friends and families; and those who work tirelessly to support both. 

Dementia is a cruel and debilitating disease  and if I can help to raise some funds to support those who work to make everyone’s lives that little bit easier then I really want to do my bit. 

Thank you for supporting me and the work of Dementia UK. It truly means the world to me. 

James.
