I'm walking 30 Miles in September for Dementia UK

💜 30 Miles for Dementia UK 💜
This September, I’m taking on the challenge of walking 30 miles to raise funds for Dementia UK, helping to ensure that no family has to face dementia alone.
This is a cause that is particularly close to my heart. As many of you know, I run my own companionship care business, and through my work I have the privilege of supporting people whose lives, in different ways, have been affected by dementia and memory loss.
I’ve seen how important companionship, understanding, patience and simply having someone there can be — not only for the person living with dementia, but also for the families and loved ones around them.
That’s why I wanted to take on this challenge and do my little bit to support the amazing work of Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity.
💜 Every donation, big or small, really can make a difference.
For example, £33 could fund a Dementia UK specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour helping a family in the community, offering practical solutions and emotional support to help them cope with the challenges dementia can bring.
So, if you are able to donate, I would be incredibly grateful. And if you can't, simply sharing my fundraising page would mean just as much.
30 miles, lots of steps, and one very important cause. 👣💜
Thank you so much for your support. xx

30 miles in 14 days

Thursday 17th Sep
💜 I DID IT! 30 MILES IN 14 DAYS! 💜

I’ve officially smashed my 30 Miles in 30 Days challenge for Dementia UK!  However I completed it in 14 days🚶‍♀️💜

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who has sponsored me so far. Every single donation, no matter how big or small, means so much and will help Dementia UK support families living with dementia. 💜

But… I’m not stopping there! 😜

I’ve decided to pledge another 30 miles and keep walking to encourage even more people to get behind this amazing cause. So if you haven’t sponsored me yet, there’s still time! Every donation really does make a difference. 🙏💜

You may have spotted me regularly pounding the pavements around the area in my Dementia UK T-shirt — and now you know why! 😂🚶‍♀️

And there’s been an unexpected bonus… I’ve also managed to lose 12lbs along the way! 🎉 So it really has been good all round — helping a fantastic charity, getting fitter and losing weight at the same time!

30 miles down… another 30 to go! 💪

Thank you again to everyone who has supported me. Your kindness is helping me keep putting one foot in front of the other. 💜

If you’d like to sponsor me and help me reach my new target, I’d be incredibly grateful. 🙏

Let’s keep those miles — and the donations keep them coming xxx
