I'm walking 100 miles in September

I’m walking 100 Miles in September and raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.

An £8 donation could cover the telephone costs of two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.


I have chosen this cause, as it is very close to my heart. Both my wonderful Nanna and Grandad both had this terrible disease, which robbed us of the people they were and robbed them of their memories, and various other things. It's a heartbreaking illness and you lose the person long before they pass away and then you lose them again physically. 

It's so hard for everyone involved and treatments and support need to be discovered and available for everyone living with dementia. 

I am really grateful for any amount at all and hope we can maybe one day find a cure or preventative treatment.

Thank you for taking time to visit my page! 💙

Day 28

Sunday 28th Sep
The end is almost here... I am 10 miles away... I need to really push myself tomorrow and Tuesday! But I'm determined and positive.

It would be lovely to raise a little bit more over the next couple of days and help people living with Dementia.

Any amount is amazing and gratefully received.  My page has been visited 400 times! So if anyone visiting could just drop 50p or £1, that would be amazing. 

Thank you to everyone who has supported me! 💙

Day 18 and 19

Friday 19th Sep

Day 10

Wednesday 10th Sep
I don't know if its just me but I have been finding the weather very muggy and well quite hot. I thought there was a breeze today but once I got walking the breeze was no more.. I was melting. Ha. I am not a big fan of the heat unless theres absolutely nothing to do, then it's nice. But I've got lots to do so I'd be happier if it was cooler..  however, the heat didn't stop me! 😆🤪
Around 3 miles done today. 
29 miles done in total... 71 to go! 😊

Day 8 and 9

Tuesday 9th Sep
Had a bit of a hectic 2 days. 
Still in pain with my side....time seems to be against me at the minute and tonight I had a hay-fever attack 🤣 honestly you couldn't make it up. So puffy, runny eyes but I managed around 4 miles. 
Hay-fever didn't stop me!🤣🤣

26 miles done... 74 to go! 😊

Day 6 and 7

Sunday 7th Sep
 9 km = Just over 5 miles.

78 miles to go! 😊

This weekend, I did something to my side just below my ribs and could barely move on Saturday. I was in a lot of discomfort and felt really frustrated too. So today (Sunday) as I felt a lot better, I did the longest walk yet.. it took me longer, as I couldn't walk as fast and I did stop off for a drink to cool down (it was a warm one today).  Anyway I managed to do the miles for this weekend. The pain will not stop me! 💪


Day 4 and 5

Friday 5th Sep
Thursdays are probably my busiest day of the week so I have to do more miles on Friday to make sure I'm on track for the 100. 

So today is for both yesterday and today...  8km = around 5 miles. 
The Strava App is good at syncing to my page so I've now done 17 miles, which means I have 83 to go! 

I can do this! 💪  
Having no time on certain days... will not stop
 me! 😊


Day 3

Wednesday 3rd Sep
Day 3✅️

(6.7km = 4miles) 

89 to go!

The walk started with the sun going down... and ended with the big beautiful moon! 

I had to really push myself today as I did not feel very energetic at all. I feel great now I have done it though.😊

My lack of energy didn't stop me! 💪

Day 2

Tuesday 2nd Sep
Busy day today...  back to work and wanted to have the last bit of the holidays before the Bear goes back to school tomorrow,  so took him to the cinema. By the time we got home, it was pretty late, so off I went in the dark to do my miles. 

5km = 3miles. The dark didn't stop me! 😊

Day 1

Monday 1st Sep
Hi Everyone 

I have just completed today's miles... it records in km, so it was 7km which is around 4 miles. The rain didn't stop me!  😊
