I'm walking 62 miles in May

I’m walking 62 miles in May and raising funds so that families affected by dementia get the specialist help and advice they need. I would be grateful for your support.

An £8 donation can cover the telephone costs of two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.

Thank you!

For Roger

Tuesday 15th Apr
This vile disease has struck down one of the kindest men I’ve ever known. To see him suffer over the seven years and finally succumbing earlier this month has been  heartbreaking. 
I’m doing this for you my friend.
