I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK

This May, I'm walking 31 Miles and raising funds in the memory of my beloved nanna Josie.

 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!
