I'm taking on the October Dog Walking Challenge

I’m walking 75 miles with my dog this October and raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.

An £8 donation could 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!

Targets Reached 🥳

Saturday 18th Oct
Targets have been reached. Well yes, I still have to make up the 11 miles from September, but what a feeling!! And we still have just under 2 weeks to add to this!

Nearly there!

Thursday 16th Oct
Had extra special company on our walk today, my step dad Geoff came down from Leeds to join us on a walk, and what a walk, a cool 5 miles to add to our tally!

Almost there...

Wednesday 15th Oct
Almost there and then I remember that I had banked 11 miles from September 😂 But we are getting fitter and who would have thought that in such a short time Bert can happily do 3 miles an hour 😂 very proud of my little fat boy.

The Famous Bridge

Sunday 12th Oct
Popped over to Hadley Wood today, love it so much. Here's Bertie on The 'famous' bridge 😂 The miles are going up fast! Thanks for supporting us ❤️

Day 11 - success

Saturday 11th Oct
Bertie has lost some weight, success, he's been such a good boy on these walks and is keeping up better each day, by the end of the month he'll be running like a whippet 😂 We had company today, love the change of pace walking with someone else has, still getting the miles in in a more leisurely time, thanks Mandy 😉 And Bert loves nothing more than walking with Lily and Lola.

Day 9

Thursday 9th Oct
Loving being able to do these walks, it's so good to clear the mind for an hour or so.

Happy Birthday Mum

Wednesday 8th Oct
Happy Birthday Mum, sorry I can't be there, but I will be up to see you soon xxx Had a lovely change of pace, with lovely company, for our walk today. Went to Broomfield Park for a nice gentle stroll and then a gorgeous lunch.

Dog Tired

Tuesday 7th Oct
One week down and we've smashed the target again, you lot are absolutely amazing, we are blown away with your generosity!!! Today we had company on our walkies, Lily and Lola joined us with their Mum, Aunty Mandy, we had a lovely time and finished the morning at the perfect spot, the pub!! Let's have more days like these please ☺️

Day 5 - After the storm

Sunday 5th Oct
Beautiful morning for a blip round Trent Park. A few trees down so a bit of climbing involved too 😉 Thank you to everyone who has donated, over £400 is absolutely amazing, like the storm, I'm blown away

Day 2

Thursday 2nd Oct
Getting into the swing of things, walking a bit later in the day as we get used to our new routine.

And so it begins.......

Wednesday 1st Oct
And so today is 1st October, I am now officially jobless and ready to walk the miles. 
As you lot have been so generous already, I have upped my fundraising target again. I am so overwhelmed that I have reached the targets so quickly each time. 
I cannot reset the miles, so please ignore the first 11 'practice' miles.  My aim is to make at least 100 miles during October, if not even more, if my poor old legs can take it 😂 and fat boy Bertie can keep up!   
If anyone fancies joining me on a walk, let me know, company is always appreciated! 
Love you all
Kerri, Sandy and Bertie

WOW

Tuesday 30th Sep
Can't believe you wonderful people have got me to my second fundraising target, I am in total shock!
Feels cheeky to raise it again, even though the month hasn't even started yet. 
So let's just see where this falls naturally now it's my turn to deliver and get those miles in!!! 

Man down

Monday 29th Sep
Little Lady has developed a limp, could this scupper our chances?? Hell no! She might have to sit out a few and maybe let us give her a pedicure (if anyone know JRTs and feet, you will feel my pain) but fingers crossed it's not a vet visit. Anyway, 2 days till we start this thing proper!!! Let's go!!!!

Getting the steps in

Saturday 27th Sep
Beautiful morning for a practice run this morning! The support for this challenge has been amazing. Rock on October, looking forward to getting out in the wilderness with these two.

OMG

I know you’ll smash the challenge! Can’t wait to join you for a walk or two but not at 5am 😂 And great cause, for someone who’s gone through seeing a loved one go through this and seeing others go through it, any support people can get, goes a long way through a very challenging time x
