I'm walking 62 Miles in October for Dementia UK

This October, I'm walking 62 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!

So I completed the last of my 62 miles by walking to Mum's care home last weekend in the autumn sunshine. She was very happy to see me. I'm very glad that she still remembers me- I know not all relatives are so lucky.
Thank you to all you lovely people who have sponsored me and supported my efforts. I have £100 in cash donations to add to the pot too!

Over Halfway!

Tuesday 20th Oct
So I'm just about keeping on track! A lovely walk in Plymbridge Woods at the weekend and a couple of walks with friends catching up and putting the world to rights and I'm 39 miles in. 11 days to go.
Went to see Mum in her care home at the weekend. Lovely to see she's being  cared for well by some amazing staff. Really grateful for the support being offered by organisations such as Dementia UK and the Alzheimer's Society. It's just what you need when you're navigating uncharted territory.
Please help me reach my fundraising goal of £250 so that more families like mine can be supported. Thank you.

So when I signed up for this I thought 2 miles a day was going to be a doddle. Not so! First I thought my walk to work and back was going to cover most of it-think I overestimated the distance! After a very convoluted walk home on days 1 and 2 (the 2nd one via the shop for chocolate- don't judge) and dragging my school lurgy filled body up the hills, I was already lagging behind. Thankfully a lovely walk to Gem Bridge yesterday put me back on track. Onwards and upwards! Literally upwards- this is Horrabridge!
