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!

My dad

Sunday 21st Dec
Dementia often starts with forgetfulness and small personality shifts, but gradually steals memories, skills, and the person who I once knew as my dad, who was strong and creative, who was skilled in many areas,
 began to alter to someone I did not recognise, someone who was often confused and sometimes aggressive as the disease progressed, caused heartbreak within the family, as the journey on the long goodbye begins.

This disease is heartbreaking to watch, and having experienced this is my dad, who was 70 at the time, is not easy.  As a daddy's girls growing up, I thought my dad was invincible and strong and nothing would stop him... until he was diagnosed with dementia. It was then I realised how heartbreaking the remaining time we would have with him would be. 
Dementia affects so many people and families and although there is no cure, by raising money I can helps support not only those who have the disease but their families to receive the help and care needed at this difficult time in their life.
