I'm walking 62 Miles in October

I’m walking 62 Miles in October and raising funds for families affected by dementia.  In our family my mother in law Christine has dementia and it has changed life dramatically for her and the rest of the family.    

A £10 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.

I am grateful for any support you are able to give.

Week 4 - done!

Wednesday 29th Oct
Really nearly done - a few days left in October to bring my total distance to 100miles. I did not think at the start of October that I would be able to go beyond the 62miles, but the support I received encouraged  me to go the extra mile(s)!

Please do share my fundraiser page if you feel prompted to do so. Thanks! 

Week 3 - done!

Tuesday 21st Oct
72 miles = 115.8 km distance so far
1076 min = 17.9 hours walked = 6.4km per hour average
1783 m elevation gain so far

I'm not usually one for statistics, but I thought at the end of week 3 I create a little summary where I'm at. I have managed the suggested distance for this challenge of 62 miles, BUT I'm not stopping there! I will not let my supporters down by stopping  now - is 100miles an outrages target? Stay tuned!

Week 2 - done!

Tuesday 14th Oct
I'm really humbled by the generosity of all my supporters - THANK YOU!
The amount raised for Dementia UK to this point is far beyond my wildest dreams. Not only one goal smashed, but two! 

I better stop doubting myself if this fundraiser was a bad idea - it turns out to be a GREAT idea!
