I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK

This May, I’m taking on the challenge of walking 31 miles for Dementia UK, in memory of my dad.

I’m walking  to remember and honour the man he was, and the dignity with which he faced the disease as it took hold. 

Like so many families, we experienced just how cruel dementia can be. I’m doing this not only for him, but to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. 

Dementia UK’s specialist Admiral Nurses provide vital support, guidance and understanding when it’s needed most.

If you’re able to donate even a small amount, I’d be so grateful — £33 could fund an hour of support from an Admiral Nurse for a family in need.

I’d love  to have company along the way, so let me know if you’d like to join me for part of the journey!

Thank you for helping me honour my dad’s memory and support others facing dementia.

Saturday 16th May
A few more walks under my belt through local fields.....sleeping cows, bleating lambs, carpets of buttercups, glorious sunshine, rain showers and, most importantly, space - to think, not think, drink in the beauty and reset. 19 miles down, 12 to go.

Walk no.3 with friends

Tuesday 5th May
Took a leisurely walk around Verulamium Park in St Albans - a little more chilly than it has been but had great company <3

2 special guests on walk no.2

Sunday 3rd May
I was joined by my 2 youngest today - gorgeous walk along a path between 2 fields, one side with sheep and their cute little lambs, the other soon to bloom into rapeseed.  We even hugged a tree :)  1.8 miles walked today so 4 miles of 31 now complete!

First walk complete!

Saturday 2nd May
The first leg of my 31 miles in May is complete - walked 2.2 miles through my fave local fields, starting off in glorious sunshine and finishing in the rain! So happy and  grateful to have already reached my £500 target. Thank you to everyone who's already supported this amazing cause! Jo x
