Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK

This January, I'm walking 50 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!

Over 175 miles racked up over the last month - thanks so much to everyone who has backed me! Together we raised over £850 - which is brilliant! 

Thanks again everyone xxx

Double trouble!

Hi,

Just managed to log back into my account so apologies for the lack of any updates here, or apologies if you're sick of my face on social media.

So - the update is I have now surpassed 100 miles and am on my way to 150. The fundraising target of £250 has been smashed too, so I'm upping it to £500, which we're not far off already (actually, there's a seperate fundraiser on instagram which is just shy of £100 so we've passed that already too, but lets keep going!)

Thanks for all your support so far - it really does spur me on seeing your donations. Every bit helps, no matter how big or small. 

Right - I'm off for another walk while my feet are still working (they are a bit sore tbh) 

Cheers
Shep
