I'm walking 30 Miles in September for Dementia UK

This September, I'm walking 30 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!

hello everyone!

💜 Help Us Raise Money for Dementia!

Hello everyone, and thank you so much for supporting us and making a donation towards our challenge to help raise money for dementia.

Dementia is something that has affected my family personally. Most of us probably have at least one family member, friend, or someone we know who has been affected by it
I had a great-grandmother who sadly passed away a few years ago after living with dementia. My nan-in-law currently has vascular dementia, and my auntie also has severe dementia. I also have several family friends who are still living with dementia and are now in care homes.
Because of how much this has affected people close to me, I thought I would challenge myself to do something to help. So, along with my husband — and sometimes our dog 🐶 — I am taking on a 30-mile challenge to raise money and support this amazing charity.
I also work in a store where I meet lots of older customers. Some of our regular customers have recently been diagnosed with dementia, and I've even come across customers as young as 55 who are living with it. That really is scary, because you just never know when dementia could affect you or someone you love.
So please, if you can, join us in the challenge by signing up, or donate whatever you can afford. Every single donation, no matter how big or small, will make a difference.
Our challenge will run until 30th September 2026, so there's still time to get involved!
Thank you so much for your support. ❤️ We really appreciate every donation, share, and bit of encouragement.

We’ll keep you all updated on our progress throughout the challenge! 🥾🐶💜
