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!

For my Mum

Thursday 15th Jan
So, I forgot I signed up to this in December, pretty ironic eh!
My mum was diagnosed with dementia in 2022, even though we started to notice a change in her behaviour around 2019. It was put on the ‘back burner’ as a lot of things were when COVID hit and she was also very stubborn ( still is now that hasn’t changed).

Dementia is heartbreaking, you have to do things that you could never prepare yourself for and couldn’t imagine doing for a parent,  you lose them over and over again. I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy.
But she still tells me she loves me and she has the best smile ever, I hope that bit doesn’t go. 
 
This January I’m walking for my mum.  Actually not just my mum. My aunt , my Nan, my great aunt and everyone that has been affected by dementia in some way. 
Please sponsor me if you can, even a few pound will make a difference . I’m under no illusion that this may come for me one day and with help and money a cure can be found.
