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!

My darling Mum ❤️
Saturday 26th SepAs most of my friends, family, colleagues, and anyone who knows me will know, my beautiful Mum was diagnosed with dementia a few years ago.
Dementia is such a cruel illness. It slowly takes away memories, moments and parts of the person you have known and loved all your life. But something people don’t always realise is that dementia doesn’t just affect the person living with it — it affects the whole family too. 💔
Watching someone you love dearly change because of this cruel disease is heartbreaking. There are days filled with laughter, precious memories and special moments, but there are also days filled with sadness, frustration and the painful reality of what dementia can take away.
My Mum is incredibly special to me, and although I can’t take this illness away from her, I can do something in her honour.
So, this October, I’m walking 62 miles for my Mum. ❤️
Every mile will be walked with her in my thoughts.
There will probably be days when my legs are aching, the weather isn’t on my side, or I simply don’t feel like getting out there. But when those moments come, I’ll think of Mum and remind myself why I started.
62 miles. One month. One very special Mum.
I’m hoping to raise money and awareness for dementia and to support others whose lives have been touched by this awful illness.
If you can donate, share my fundraiser, encourage me along the way, or simply follow my journey, it would mean so much to me and my family.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help make every step feel worthwhile.
And Mum, if there’s one thing I want you to know, it’s this:
No matter how many memories dementia takes away, it can never take away how much I love you. ❤️
This one is for you, Mum.
62 miles. Countless steps. One beautiful reason.
❤️ My Mum ❤️
