I'm walking 60 Miles in June for Dementia UK

This June, I'm walking 60 Miles and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. I'm taking on the challenge for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. £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!

Grief before Goodbye

Thursday 4th Jun
Dementia is one of the cruellest things because grief doesn’t begin the day someone dies.
You grieve in pieces. In moments. In conversations they no longer remember. In watching someone you love slowly disappear while still standing in front of you.
My dad lost his battle with dementia in November 2024, but the grief started long before that… and it continues long after.
People often think loss has a finish line, but it doesn’t. Some days it’s heavy, some days it’s quiet, and some days it catches you completely off guard.
If you’ve loved someone through dementia, you’ll understand that you mourn them over and over again while trying to hold onto every part of who they were.
I miss my dad every single day. 🤍
