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!

Thank you to each and every one of you who supported us on our challenge. We're thrilled to have raised such an incredible amount for Dementia UK. Our final mileage was 85 .... it's time to give our trainers a rest... perhaps just for a day or two. Thank you x

70 miles done .... but can we raise any more?

Saturday 24th Jan
So George and I have passed our 70 mile target ... we are so happy to have raised so much money for Dementia UK .... far exceeding our original target. So thank you to all who have supported us. There is still time to support us and we would be so grateful if you did.

70 miles down ..... I think we still have time to raise more ....

We increased our target to £500 and we're thrilled to say that we're pretty much there. Thank you all for supporting us to raise funds for Dementia UK. We've been very touched by your kind donations. 15 miles to go until we reach our personal target of 70 miles in January.

10 days in and 33 miles walked!

So proud of George! Despite being under the weather he's pushed on determined to get to 70 miles. This is us today on the Leeds Liverpool Canal. Just over 11 miles today and we're rather tired 😊. Thank you so much for your support!

15.5 Miles down

Monday 5th Jan
Well week 1 is going well and we've been on some beautiful walks! We're using our fitbits to track the walks so only actual walks are counting towards our 70 mile goal rather than our daily steps. The snow was a bit of a shock but anything beats rain 😊. Thank you so much for your support! Xx 

First official 6 miles

Thursday 1st Jan
Clitheroe to Artisan (Foxfields) to pick up our car. Took some effort this morning but we're determined to smash these 50 Miles and do considerably more. Well done George!
