Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

I'm walking 100 Miles in January for Dementia UK

This January, I'm taking part in Dementia UK's walking fundraiser and hope to cover 100 miles (it was originally 50 but I am off to a good start!). 

I'm taking on the challenge for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support. This heart breaking disease touches nearly all families, including our own. The disease strips the person of their soul, deterioration over time being shattering to watch. 

Finding help for services, clinical diagnosis and funding is way harder than it ever should be and its thanks to charities such as Dementia UK that information and help is at hand. 

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!

Kath xx
