March Dog Walking Challenge

I'm walking 62K with my dog for Dementia UK

Watching someone you love suffer with Dementia and completely forget who you are is one of the most heartbreaking things you will ever have to go through 

My nan was my best friend and I cant explain how hard it is to mourn the loss of someone who is still alive. 

Before she was moved to a care home, my amazing grandad put everything into becoming her full time carer and received help and support from Sage House, who provide Dementia support services, information and advice for those living with dementia and their families. They also provide respite day care, personal care and support groups.

This March, I'm walking 62K with my dog 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.

Sage House was a huge help for my nan and grandad and I know having more support services like this around the country would help other families who don't know where to turn after this life changing diagnosis.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £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 for your support! ❤️
