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!

62 miles in October for dementia uk complete!

Saturday 31st Oct

We have done it! I’ve officially completed my challenge to walk 62 miles throughout October for Dementia UK!

I just wanted to take a moment to say a really big thank you to everyone who has supported me along the way. Every donation, kind message, share and bit of encouragement has meant so much. I honestly couldn’t be more grateful.

Dementia UK is a charity that means a great deal to me. Dementia touches so many families, and it’s not just the person living with it who is affected. It’s the people who love them, care for them and wish the best for them.

The work Dementia UK does to support families, offer guidance and make sure people don’t feel alone is so important.

If this little challenge helps even one family get the support they need, which it absolutely will,then every single mile has been worth it.💜

Thank you for being part of it and helping me support such an important cause. It really does mean the world. ❤️

Wishing everyone a lovely Halloween. Stay safe, enjoy yourselves and look after each other. 🎃👻 xx

I’m now on Day 19 of my 62-mile walking challenge for dementia, and I’m so pleased to share that I’ve completed 44.37 miles so far! 🚶‍♀️

That means I’ve already walked over 70% of my target, with 17.63 miles left to go!

Every mile is for a cause that deserves more awareness, understanding and support. Dementia affects so many people and families, and I’m proud to be doing my bit to help make a difference.

Thank you so much to everyone who has supported me, donated, shared my page or cheered me on along the way. Every bit of support means so much and motivates me to keep going. 💕

Friday 9th Oct
Im walking 62 miles throughout October to raise money for Dementia UK and the incredible work they do supporting families affected by dementia. Today’s walk came with a little reminder to keep going, even when the skies are grey. Every mile is for the families navigating dementia and the people who deserve support, understanding and care. I’m getting closer to my target, one step at a time. 💙 If you’d like to support my walk, I’d be so grateful. Every donation and every share makes a difference and raises awareness for a cause close to my heart.

My walk in october

Monday 28th Sep
In October I am walking 62 miles to raise vital funds for Dementia UK. Every mile I walk will help fund specialist dementia nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, who provide life-changing support to families facing dementia.
Dementia is a journey that no one should have to walk alone. It doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed; it impacts their entire family, bringing emotional, practical, and physical challenges that can feel overwhelming.

I am walking for a family member who has dementia, as nobody should walk alone.

Thank you for all your support 💕💕💕
