I'm walking 62 miles in May

I’m walking 62 miles in May 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 £8 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!

62 Miles In May

Monday 28th Apr
Having seen Dementia first hand, I just had to get involved. The picture is of Bill who was not just my Father in law but my best friend. Unfortunately he suffered from Dementia which meant we lost a little part of him everyday. Until we lost him for the last time in January 2020.
So please donate and help this deserving cause.
Thanks in advance
Jason
