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!

Walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK
Monday 29th DecThis January, I’m setting myself a challenge: walking 50 miles to raise money for Dementia UK, in memory of my mum.
Dementia is a condition that affects not just the person diagnosed, but everyone who loves and cares for them. Watching someone you love change, struggle, and slowly lose parts of who they are is heartbreaking. My mum’s journey with dementia showed me just how cruel and relentless this illness can be — and how vital the right support is.
I’m walking these 50 miles to honour her memory, but also to help others who are currently facing the same journey. Dementia UK provides specialist nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, who support families from diagnosis through to end-of-life care. Their work makes an incredible difference at a time when people often feel lost, overwhelmed, and alone.
I’m also hoping this challenge helps raise awareness. Dementia is still widely misunderstood, and many families suffer in silence. By talking about it more openly, we can help reduce stigma and encourage people to seek support sooner.
Every mile I walk is for my mum, and for every family affected by dementia. If you’re able to donate, share this post, or simply take a moment to learn more about dementia, it all helps more than you might realise.
Thank you for reading, for your support, and for helping keep my mum’s memory alive while making a difference for others.
