I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK

This May, I'm walking 31 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!

Why I'm raising money for Dementia

Monday 27th Apr
Dementia is a disease that has touched my family in a deeply personal way.
Both of my grandmothers have been affected by dementia. My Nanna sadly passed away and it was so traumatic for us, and my Nanny is still living with this cruel disease every single day.
Watching the people you love slowly change is one of the hardest things to go through. Dementia doesn’t just affect memory — it can change someone’s personality, their independence, and the little moments that make them who they are. It affects the whole family, not just the person diagnosed.
My Nanna and my Nanny have always meant so much to me, and seeing dementia affect both of them has been heartbreaking. Losing my Nanna was incredibly painful, and seeing my Nanny continue to live with dementia reminds me every day how devastating this illness can be. It's a battle for my family as well as her! 
That is why I have chosen to raise money for a dementia charity.
I want to do something positive in honour of my Nanna, and for my Nanny, who is still facing this battle. I also want to help other families who are going through the same heartbreak that so many people quietly face.
Every donation, no matter how small, can help fund research, improve care, and provide support to families living with dementia.
If you are able to sponsor me, I would be so grateful. Your support would mean so much to me and my family, and it would help make a difference for others affected by dementia.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and for any support you can give
