Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

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!

Thank you everyone xx

Day 29 TARGET REACHED 52.96 Miles

Thursday 29th Jan
I have reached my target of 50 miles! 
Thank you to everyone who supported this cause.
Any amount raised really does make a difference. If you are ever unlucky enough to have been touched by dementia you will know just how tough this disease is both on the person diagnosed but also the families and carers. The challenge runs until the end of January so there is still time to support if you can.  

Day 24 - Total miles 46.29

Bit of a slower walking this week but I will push harder for this week. 

A very important cause, close to my heart, I  to help in any way I can.

This is the last week to sponsor me if you can.

Thank you to you all ❤️

Hi,

This month I'm walking 50 miles to raise funds for Dementia UK.

A donation of £10 could help two families affected by dementia get free support through its free Helpline.


I'm walking 50 miles for dementia. It would mean so much if you could support me with a donation.


Thank you so much to those who have donated so far. You are making a difference.
