£300 reached!

Tuesday 28th Apr It's amazing that I've already reach my second milestone of £300. I am very blessed to know some amazing people. Thank you! I will raise the goal soon as I continue my walk for Dementia, for mum and for my uncle Keith no longer here and his family plus everyone it affects. It's a horrible frustrating illness and if we can help some families to cope better then I will walk every month I can.🩷🩵 Please share my page, please donate if you haven't already, please help a family like mine xxx Share

T-Shirt

Tuesday 14th Apr My T Shirt arrived at the weekend. It's official! I also have means to accept cash donations now with a sponsor form for anyone wishing to donate that way. Thank you all for your donations so far! You're all amazing and I appreciate every single penny to help this worthy cause. Dementia is so prevalent and our families need help and support to give care that's appropriate for each individual 🩷🩵Jx Share

Care Home

Monday 13th Apr After mum being in the hospital for a little over 2 months I have been able to find her a suitable care home which she moved into Friday. I've been busy getting her things in her room and going to and from sorting her old home out. In some ways it feels good to know she's got all round care somewhere she can settle, but it also feels strange leaving her somewhere different. I hope she settles and is happy there. Giving her some space this week for her to adjust and get into a routine by herself. Jx Share

2 miles ✔️

Monday 6th Apr I've started the walk already. Partly because I don't just want to hit the goal of 31 miles, I want to exceed it. I lead a very busy life like most people, I work, I have my own business that I make products for by hand and then sell these at local markets. I have a home and family to look after. I also live 40 miles away from mum. I am also currently organising  moving mum into a care home and dismantling her lovely flat she has. It's quite heartbreaking having to do that.  A part of mum's dementia is paranoia. She didn't want to throw any receipts away as she thought people looked through her rubbish. She also horded magazines and had a chest full of them. Clothes she hadn't worn for years that didn't fit. Anyway I'm nearing the end of all that and will be helping mum to settle into new surroundings. I'm dreading it to be honest. I just hope she settles and feels at home there fast. Please cross everything for her. JX  Share

A tough day

Saturday 4th Apr Today has been a really tough day. A call from the hospital to say, "your mum's trying to leave the hospital again and getting very upset", is code for she's kicking off again and we need help. Share
