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!

My Dad , My Hero

Tuesday 22nd Sep
October was always a month with celebrations . First one being Dads Birthday. So to honour him & help support other families living in the curse of Dementia, I see walking 62 Miles in October as fitting . Dad loved to walk, as part of a group he did many coastal walks near his home Town of Clacton.  My 62 miles will be added onto my usual active days, so yes challenging myself into Autumn instead of getting cosy. 
If you’d like to support me along the way , please donate whatever you can to Dementia Uk. 
Dads funeral donations of over £700 where gratefully recieved and we’d like to continue adding to their pot. 
Sadly Dementia doesn’t go away , for suffers or their families , the heartbreak is cushioned slightly by amazing humans to work & support families 

Thank you to my Sponsors
