I'm taking on the October Dog Walking Challenge

Hey everyone! This October, Freddie and I are taking on the Dementia UK October Dog Walking Challenge—75 miles for Dementia UK. Dementia is a devastating disease, and it’s heart-breaking to know my dad’s daily struggle: his memories slipping away, with many or all of his memories of us gone, his strength waning and leaving him increasingly frail, and him not even recognising us. Every step we take is for him and for all the families who depend on these specialist nurses for comfort and clarity.
Times are tough, but this cause means so much to us—please give what you can to make a difference. Your support keeps us moving, mile after mile. 🙏❤️🐾

Day 29

Wednesday 29th Oct
I haven’t been able to walk Freddie and add to my miles for a couple of days as I am away visiting mum and dad. Dad had a visit from the therapy dog called Marcel while we were visiting today, you can see his face light up at the chance to stroke a dog. He always used to love stroking and cuddling Bentley before Dementia hit xx

Day 25

Saturday 25th Oct
Lovely sunny walk this morning, 86 miles completed ☀️🍂🍁🦮🐾

Day 13

Monday 13th Oct
Today is my dad’s 78th Birthday and although he is totally unaware we celebrate anyway 🎉 xx

10 days in

Friday 10th Oct

10 days into my 75-mile dog walking challenge for Dementia UK, and we’ve already walked 36 miles! 🐕💪

I’m so touched by all the support — we’ve raised £115 so far, and every donation makes such a difference to families affected by dementia 💙

There are still lots more dog walks ahead this month, so if you’d like to help us reach our target, please consider donating — every step counts 💕🐾


Back out walking

Sunday 5th Oct
Back out on our walks today after a day off yesterday. Lovely sunny breezy morning for a walk with this handsome boy 2.5 miles done. 

4th day

Saturday 4th Oct
13 miles done, but a morning off walking Freddie this morning, Mark said he would take him instead 😁.  It gives my painful foot a much needed rest. Hopefully will add some  miles this evening. 

First 2 days

Thursday 2nd Oct
8.5 miles done in first two days, not too bad especially with a painful foot. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
