🌍 Walking 30 Miles for Dementia UK – Because Dementia Doesn’t Discriminate

Dementia is a worldwide disease. It doesn’t care about age, background, or where you come from — it affects millions of people and their families every single day.

For me, this cause is deeply personal. My Dad is living with dementia and currently in supported care back home in Australia.  Having reached the age of 80 without any major health issues, his fear of needing a care home was soon realised as he started to suffer and need support full time. I’ve seen first-hand the impact this illness has — not just on my Dad being diagnosed, but through volunteering in my local community.

That’s why I’m taking on the Dementia UK 30 Mile Walk Challenge — to help raise vital funds so others like my Dad can access the support, advice, and compassion they desperately need.

💙 Every mile I walk will be for my Dad and for everyone navigating this journey.
💙 Every pound donated will help Dementia UK provide specialist dementia nurses and resources to those who need them most.

If you’re able to support me — whether by donating, sharing this post, or sending words of encouragement — it would mean the world.

Together, we can make sure no one has to face dementia alone.
