Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK

As I’m sure most of you know our family has been deeply affected by this disease & I know  I’m not the only person that wishes it didn’t exist but sadly it does ! 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!

I’m disappointed I couldn’t walk more but was let down by an injury over new year that delayed my start. Again thank you all that supported & donated xx
