Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

Help me reach my goal of £250

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!

Getting ready for January

Wednesday 31st Dec
My preparations for walking 50 miles during January started with a 2.5 mile walk to the pharmacy yesterday. After little exercise for too long and too much food over Christmas it felt exhausting!
Tomorrow I start in earnest. Gently to start with, then increasing gradually as my fitness increases  and my diet improves!
Like everyone with dementia, Alan’s condition continues to deteriorate. He won’t get better and there’s no medication that will improve his symptoms; it’s a slow, inevitable  decline .
By completing this challenge and with the kind generosity of friends and family I aim to help raise awareness and contribute to the ongoing work of DementiaUK.
