I'm walking 30 miles in September

I’m walking 30 Miles in September 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!

WOW! what a terrific month I've had,walking with so many wonderful friends, and truly overwhelmed at your generosity everyone of you who has donated and supported Dementia UK. Well done all of you. A great charity, I doubt if there is anyone who is not affected by the impact this disease has on friends and loved ones.  To my sister and bro in law, you are both amazing. XXX

A cheeky sunflower leaning over the fence on my morning walk. Reminded me of our sunny loved ones, whose memories are failing, the seeds like a memory bank, and as seeds are lost , we help to fill in those memory gaps and keep our loved ones shining.
