I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK
This January, I'm walking 50 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!

51 Miles and I'll keep going! Just call me Forest Gump!
Wednesday 28th Jan I went a little over converting my Km on the treadmill to miles but regardless I've hit my target and exceeded my monetary goal because of your support and donations!! Thank you again from the bottom of my heart it's truly appreciated Share
last leg, 8 miles to go!
Saturday 24th Jan Just 8 miles and one week of January left! My dad had a birthday this week and has now taken a downturn 😔 Dementia is a cruel cruel disease and for families seeing their loved one go through this, its an emotional rollercoaster. He's being made comfortable and I pray he'll be at peace. Share
35 miles down!
Monday 19th Jan I wanted to let everyone know how far I've walked/ran so far and to thank all of you for your contribution to my target. No matter how big or small your support really matters to me and to Dementia UK who continue to fight for funds to support those living with Dementia. This is a cruel disease I wouldn't want anyone to deal with, current statistics show that 1 million in the UK are diagnosed and living with Dementia and that 1 in 3 people will develop Dementia in their lifetime. The grief and suffering to those affected is infinite and the economic costs this disease brings is at an estimate 23 billion annually!Thank you to my Sponsors
