Run 100K in February '26

Help me reach my goal of £2,500

I'm running 100K for Dementia UK

Throughout February, i’ll be attempting to run 100K (much to my physio’s horror - please don’t tell her 🙃) to raise money for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity.

Last year, at just 64, my wonderful dad was diagnosed with young onset vascular dementia. It was a huge shock and has taken a lot of adjusting. Anyone who knows him knows his humour and personality are truly like no other - he’s always been the one making us laugh and lifting the room with his awful one liners! 😂 

Seeing him face this has been incredibly hard, but we’ve been so grateful for the care, guidance and support we’ve received.

That’s why I’m doing this. Every donation - big or small - helps Dementia UK continue their vital work supporting families like ours, and I would be so incredibly grateful for your support.


Thank you so much ❤️

100K in February: Excited, nervous, and ready ♥️

Thursday 29th Jan

In 3 days time, I’ll begin the challenge of running 100K in February. I’m feeling excited and nervous!

Running has a funny way of teaching patience. Some days feel strong, others feel heavy, and progress isn’t always obvious -you just need to keep going. Living with dementia feels much the same. It’s unpredictable, challenging, and requires you to adapt day by day.

I’m doing this for my dad. He’s always been full of humour and personality, the kind of person who could lift a room without trying. Since his diagnosis, we’ve learned that some days are easier than others, and all you can do is keep moving forward, even when the path isn’t clear.

This challenge isn’t about speed or perfection. It’s about consistency, resilience, and showing up - values that mean even more when every kilometre is for my best friend. 


February won’t be easy, but neither is this journey. So I’ll take it the same way we take everything else: one step at a time 🫶🏻
