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

Such a horrible disease
Wednesday 26th Feb My mum has suffered from vascular dementia for over a decade now and is now very poorly with only a very short time left. It is a horrible illness/disease where a person's quality of life disappears before your eyes. So very sad. ShareThank you to my Sponsors
