I'm walking 62 Miles in October

I’m walking 62 Miles in October and raising funds so that families affected by dementia get the specialist help and advice they need. I would be grateful for your support.

An £10 donation can cover the telephone costs of two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.

Thank you!

Saturday 1st Nov
Well it’s now November so that means October is over!! The goal was to walk 62 miles …. Which o some is nothing but to me it was daunting …. I’m not a walker at all…. Mainly because I’ve got a car so why walk past it 🫣 but also it hurts as I’ve suffered with a rubbish back and hips for about 24 years … meaning I can’t stand for long or even sit for long periods of time …. But I not only did 62 miles, I did 74 miles So I’m really quite proud of myself. For pushing through the pain and discomfort for this charity. My granddad had dementia and it’s heart breaking…. At the start he used to laugh it off …. But when he didn’t recognise his wife or sons ,never mind his grandkids ,that was the hardest part…. Wandering for miles lost in fields in his pjs…lashing out hitting us…. Frustrated…Then eventually he was just the outer shell of my grandad … he couldn’t speak or feed himself …. And my Nan cared for him the whole time ,20 odd years (with the exception of a few months when he went in to a home-which was horrific, so nan brought him home) x Thank you for all your support and donations…. I really do appreciate it xxxx

62m …. 70 and still today to add!
