I'm walking 62 Miles in October for Dementia UK

This October, I'm walking 62 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 for Dad

Thursday 1st Oct
💙 62 MILES IN OCTOBER FOR DEMENTIA UK 💙

This October, Jamie and I are taking on the challenge of walking 62 miles to raise money for Dementia UK — a cause that is incredibly close to our hearts.

We’re doing this for Jamie’s dad, who is living with dementia. 💔

Dementia doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed; it affects the whole family. Watching someone you love change because of this cruel illness is incredibly difficult, and it’s something no family is ever really prepared for.

So throughout October, Jamie and I will be getting those miles in — 62 miles for Jamie’s dad and for every other person and family living with dementia. 💙

There may be sore legs, tired feet and probably a bit of moaning along the way  especially from me as this is a challenge for me with my foot😂, but every single mile will be worth it if we can raise some money and awareness for such an important charity.

If anyone would like to sponsor us, no matter how small the donation, we would be so grateful. Every penny will help Dementia UK continue supporting families when they need it most.

And if you can’t donate, even just sharing our post would mean so much to us. 🥰

62 miles. One month. One very special reason. 💙
