Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

Help me reach my goal of £250

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!

I’ve finished! 58 miles completed

Wednesday 28th Jan
I only counted my steps, not those of my steadfast walking companions, son Jonathan and Noah the Labrador! That would’ve multiplied the steps hugely.😂
Thanks also to daughter Abby and friend Sarah for walks, chats and IT assistance😊

Why am I doing this?

Wednesday 21st Jan
I signed up for this challenge having seen the heartbreak, stress and exhaustion a diagnosis of dementia brings to families. Close friends and family are navigating this road at present which has encouraged me to ask for sponsorship, knowing that any money raised will enable dementia UK to provide help and support through their free helpline.
One of the people I am walking in memory of is my Grandma Helen  who remains the happiest, most gentle and patient lady I have ever known despite living with dementia in her old age. My Grandpa Alex, then in his late 80s, cared for her on his own for the most part, showing sacrificial love that made an impression but never left me.
Thanks so much to those who have given through this page and in person, I am very grateful to you all.
I should reach the 50 mile goal in the next day or so, and if you are able to donate, please follow the link below
Thanks for reading!
