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!

25th January update

Sunday 25th Jan
One more week to go and have manged to pass the 70th (mostly very wet) mile mark!!!
Can't remember such prolonged wet weather, muddy or icy conditions,  quite a challenge this time!
It's all worth it though, to raise funding to try and find a cure for dementia and help support those who are touched by it. 
Please help if you can - this one's for you Rae xxx

50 miles completed!!!
