FOR MY GRANDPARENTS
Monday 1st JunWalking 60 Miles in June for Dementia UK
This challenge is very personal to me.
I am slowly losing two of my grandparents to dementia, and it is one of the hardest and most heartbreaking things I have ever had to go through. Watching the people you love change because of this cruel disease is devastating, and I wouldn’t wish it on anybody.
One of those grandparents is my Grandad, who I hold incredibly close to my heart. He has never turned his back on me, even through some of the hardest times in my life. He has always been there for me, and taking on this challenge is one small way I can give something back while raising awareness of a condition that affects so many families.
This challenge is also about proving something to myself. Throughout my life, I have struggled with my mental health, anxiety and ADHD. I often doubt myself, put myself down, and find it difficult to leave the house. I have a habit of starting things and never quite seeing them through. By completing this challenge, I want to prove to myself that I am capable of achieving the things I set my mind to. No matter how difficult it feels, I am determined to finish these 60 miles for my grandparents and for myself.
This June, I am walking 60 miles for Dementia UK and raising funds to help ensure no family has to face dementia alone. Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nursing charity, and I would be incredibly grateful for any support you can give.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, makes a difference. Just £33 could fund a specialist Admiral Nurse for an hour, helping a family in their community with practical advice and emotional support as they cope with the challenges of dementia.
If you’re able to donate, sponsor me online, or even support me in person if you see me out completing my miles, I would be truly grateful. Every penny raised will help families affected by dementia receive the support they desperately need.
Thank you for helping me make a difference and for supporting me on this journey. ❤️
