I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK

This May, I'm walking 31 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!

Walk 13

Sunday 31st May
THATS A WRAP🥰 31 miles walked for dementia uk, I'm genuinely so grateful for everyone’s kindness, generosity and support throughout. This charity felt very apt, in memory of my grandad and in support of my nana, and all the residents at Bryn Derwen🤍 and I can’t believe how much we’ve raised, it’s truly incredible, and you guys are truly incredible🫶🏼 this has been a really enjoyable sponsored walk, it’s been motivation to get out and enjoy the surroundings🦋👣

Walk 12

Saturday 30th May
Absolutely beautiful day today with the family, we went to bodnant gardens and it was lovely! The weather was perfect, now settled at home and the rain has started (I could argue there’s nothing more relaxing🤷🏻‍♀️) I am SO close now, 4.18km equals 2.5 miles, I feel like it’s pretty apt that I do my last mile tomorrow🤣 thank you all again for you amazing donations, a huge difference is going to be made to someone thanks to your kindness🦋👣

Walk 11

Friday 29th May
Little after work walk with Ebony today, it was really so needed! We of course had to finish the week with a little pint to treat ourselves, this challenge has really been lovely to take part in, motivation to get out and move! 4.08km equates to 2.5 miles leaving just 3.5 miles to go🦋👣

Walk 10

Thursday 28th May
Short and sweet, every little helps this close to the end, it’s been a sweaty hot day in work today so this is all I got🤣 2.03km is only 1.2miles but it’s 1.2 less miles that what id done yesterday, leaving just 6 miles exactly to go🦋👣

Walk 9

Wednesday 27th May
Evening walk joined by mother dearest and the doggos, in all honesty I just needed to feel some air this evening🥵 Mother Nature even treated us to a little bit of rain (which was lovely by the way). 4.4km equates to 2.7 miles, leaving just 7.2 miles to go🦋👣

Walk 8

Tuesday 26th May
This is Meg, my Nan, she is another one of my big reasons for doing this walk, Nan in the last year has been diagnosed with dementia, there were signs earlier on that were mistaken for ‘old age’, compared to Grandad, her dementia is mixed. We are very Lucky as a family that Nan is still blessed with her bubbly, funny personality, not everyday is like that however the days that are make everything worth it. Nan is looked after by a wonderful team of carers, with the support of dementia uk, other people like Nan can receive the support that they need. 2.6km done with Nan today which equates to 1.6 miles, leaving 9.9 miles to go🦋👣

Walk 7

Friday 22nd May
After a little hiatus I’m back, it was nice to get out in the sun today, the girls have smashed their walking target today! 3.8km equates to 2.3 miles, leaving just 11.5 miles to go🦋👣

Walk 6

Tuesday 12th May
Morning walk today with my mother-in-law, it would of been rude if we didn’t stop for breakfast on our travels, so that’s what we did🫢 it was a bit of a rainy start today but it definitely woke me up😂 4.54km equals 2.8 miles, leaving just 13.6 miles to go🦋👣

Walk 5

Monday 11th May
Nice little walk and catch up with my friend (we obviously had to stop for some lunch too) lovely sunny day and the worlds been put to rights, 6.06km equals 3.7 miles so that’s leaves 16.4 miles to go🦋👣

Walk 4

Saturday 9th May
Little walk after our 12 hour work day today, pretty sure the girls thought I was just taking them on a random tangent😂 honestly if you’d of asked me last week if I’d want to go for a walk after work I’d of probably just laughed, but it felt like a really nice way to unwind. 4.27km equates to 2.6 miles, so that leaves 20.1 miles to go👣🦋

Walk 3

Friday 8th May
Had 2 little friends that could quite literally walk this whole challenge in one day🐾 I’m pretty sure people think I’m crazy when I’m walking them because I talk to them like humans😂 4km equates to 2.4 miles, that leaves 22.7 miles to go👣🦋

Walk 2

Friday 8th May
Walk 2 was a little further (no French bull dog that I was scared was going to die) this really is the motivation I need to get up and out, 6.69km equates to 4.1 miles, that leaves 25.1 miles to go👣🦋

First Walk

Wednesday 6th May
Today felt like the perfect day to start this challenge for me, today my Grandad Trevor would of been 84, Grandad suffered with Vascular Dementia for around the last 4 years of his life, it started slow, the changes were minimal and unless you looked really closely you wouldn’t of noticed the little things that indicated his dementia, but the mental decline towards the end of his life happened very fast. Grandad kept his happy, funny, take it as it comes personality through out his dementia journey and for that I feel very grateful and blessed. I miss him every day, this walk today was solely his and I felt like he was with me throughout. 3.1km equates go to 1.8 miles, so that leaves 29.2 to go👣🦋
