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.
This would mean a great deal to me and my family for any support, as my amazing grandad is fighting every day with this awful disease.
Thank you in advance!!

My grandad my hero
Friday 2nd JanDementia is something many of us have heard about, but truly understanding it often comes only when it touches our own family. For us, dementia is not just a word or a diagnosis …it is my grandad.
My grandad is a father, a grandfather, a storyteller, and a man with a lifetime of memories. Dementia has changed how he experiences the world, but it has not changed who he is at his core. He is still the same person we love, even as his journey looks different from what it once was.
Dementia does not define my grandad. He is not “his illness.” He is a person who still deserves dignity, respect, and compassion in every interaction.
One of the most painful parts of dementia can be how invisible someone becomes. Conversations can slow down, responses may change, and the world can sometimes feel overwhelming. Taking the time to listen, to speak gently, and to meet him where he is makes a difference — more than we often realise.
