Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK

This January, I'm walking 50 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!

8 mile family walk today

Sunday 18th Jan
Managed to get the family all out today for an 8 mile walk, to be fair there was an incentive for the kids to walk to our vintage sweet shop in the next village, lol 😂 and not surprisingly they took me up on that offer😂🙈😋✨

Thank you so much everyone for all your love, support and much needed donations for this wonderful cause 🥰🙏💖

Just wanted to pop on quickly and say a massive thank you for all your love, support and donations towards this wonderful cause, and a big thank you to Caroline Golding Natalie Hawker and also to my anonymous donor, I'm not sure who to thank, but thank you so much 🥰💗✨️ it really will help so much! And that £5 you donated means that someone is able to be on the other end of a support line for a person with dementia (to phone for free), your donations cover the cost so they don't have to worry about reaching out to them. Really am so grateful to have such wonderful friends with such big hearts 💕 and this makes me want to push on even more so now to finish the last 22 miles 🥰💗✨️

Self donation

Tuesday 13th Jan
Been a very expensive month, wish I could have donated more, but in truth any amount really does go such a long way, i know we’re coming out of Christmas month and it’s always expensive, but any and all donations are welcomed now matter how big or small, if you have a spare few quidkicking around  I would appreciate you considering a small donation to this wonderful cause, many thanks in advance 🙏🥰✨

Fundraising kit arrive, and mile update

Tuesday 13th Jan
Fundraising kit arrived today. Have just been working it out, with all the miles I've walked already, I'm now on 28 miles, i didn't realise how many miles it is in a day to walk the kids to and from school, works out when a whole day is done, just from the school runs alone its a 3 mile walk! Which is just crazy, lol 😂

Snow ❄️ walk 2026

Monday 5th Jan
Isn't nature beautiful 🥰☃️✨️ 
Well that's a brilliant way to start this challenge 50 mile  walk for dementia UK, an hour and a half walk in the snow straight after the school run, i don't even care that I likely doubled back on myself walking several times, it was just so magical 💫✨️💛 and a whopping 6 miles walking achieved after the school run, an hour and a half of magical moments, and tranquil vibes 💗☃️✨️ (first bit of snow here since 2018 ☃️)

It's not too late to donate to this wonderful cause if you would like too the link is below 👇💫💛
