I will be walking 62K with my dog for Dementia UK
This March, I'm walking 62K with my dog Stevie and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. I'm taking on the challenge for Dementia UK and in memory of my Nanny, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support.
Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund a new dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour helping a family in the community, offering practical solutions and emotional support to cope with their loved one’s distressed behaviour.
Thank you!

I will be walking 62k with my dog throughout March for Dementia Uk
Wednesday 19th FebSomeone once said when you love someone with dementia you lose them more and more everyday. When they are diagnosed, when they go through different stages, when they go into care and when they die. 😢 This is called “Ambiguous Loss.” ‘Rapidly shrinking brain’ is how doctors described it. I wouldn't wish Dementia on anyone. As the persons brain slowly dies, they change physically and eventually forget who their loved ones are. They can eventually become bedridden, unable to move and unable to eat or drink💔.
To raise awareness of this cruel disease, I will be walking 62k with my dog throughout March to raise money in memory of my Nanny who suffered with this horrendous disease and for all of those that have had / have friends or family members living with dementia, I appreciate any donations big or small.
Thank you💕
