30 Miles in September: Doing It for My Lovely Father-in-Law Tommy 💜

Why I’m Taking Part in the Walk 30 Miles in September Challenge 💜

This September, I’m taking on the Walk 30 Miles in September Challenge to raise money and awareness for dementia.

There is a very personal reason behind this challenge for me. My lovely father-in-law, Tommy, suffers from dementia, and seeing the impact this condition can have on someone you love has made this cause incredibly close to my heart.

Dementia doesn’t just affect the person living with it. It affects the whole family. It can change everyday life in ways you never expect, bringing difficult moments, uncertainty and heartache, but also reminding you just how precious the memories and moments you share really are.

Taking part in this challenge is my small way of doing something positive. Walking 30 miles throughout September may not seem like much compared to the challenges faced by those living with dementia and their families, but I hope that every mile helps raise awareness and much-needed funds to support dementia research, care and the people affected by this condition.

I’m doing this for Tommy. ❤️

I’m doing it for everyone living with dementia, and for the families and carers who support them every day.

If you would like to support me, any donation, no matter how big or small, would be very gratefully appreciated. Every single donation will help make a difference and means a lot to me and my family.

Here’s to 30 miles, raising awareness, and doing something special for a cause that is very close to my heart. 💜

For Tommy. ❤️
