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!

My Mum’s dementia's journey

Sunday 28th Dec
In January 2024 my Mum was diagnosed with dementia . It was a very difficult time as we lost our uncle to dementia  in the same year. Mum was having  hallucinations each night and would wander looking for a lady in the flat. She became very aggressive towards my Dad which was a big  concern as he was 88yrs old. But once we started to get help from the memory and dementia teams medication was put in place which made the hallucinations stop. Moving forward a year Mum sits and tells us so many stories that she’s made in her head and parts of conversations  she’s heard .
We know it will get worse and feel like at times  we are waiting for a bomb to explode. I take each day as it comes and am always by her side. With out the surport of the memory/dementia team  it could have been a different story. So in January I’m going to walk 50 miles to fundraise for the dementia team.  Please surport me in  any way you can.
