This January, I’m walking 50 miles for Dementia UK, and I’d love your support.
Almost a million people in the UK are living with dementia, most of us will know someone who is, or if we don't, we will in the future.
Some of you know my Mum’s story. She was first diagnosed with Parkinson’s, and later with Dementia with Lewy Bodies, a condition caused by abnormal protein deposits in the brain.
As a famous Scottish band once said, I would walk 500 miles in January if it meant getting back the sweet, funny, intelligent, and loving lady my Mum was. Mum is still very much loved, and deserves the best possible life and care.
Let's raise as much as we can to help Dementia UK continue their incredible work supporting families facing all types of dementia and helps ensure no family faces dementia alone. 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.
If you’re able to donate, share, or simply cheer me on, it would mean the world. Every step is for my lovely Mum, Barbara, and for every family walking this path.
💙 Thank you.
