I'm walking 30 Miles in September for Dementia UK

This September, I'm walking 30 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!

Completion!

Tuesday 29th Sep
So, I have now walked 30 miles for dementia. A very personal cause to me which pushed me to complete it even though I haven’t been well. The last 2 weeks, I’ve seen so many white feathers, I’ve been surrounded by them. I know my mum was with me doing this. That was for you mam , miss and love you always ❤️💔

Update

So, I have now walked 28 miles so far! Thanks to my work friends who have supported me through September. It’s always a difficult month but it’s helped doing something positive for dementia.
