I'm walking 62 Miles in October

I’m walking 62 Miles in October and raising funds so that families affected by dementia get the specialist help and advice they need. I would be grateful for your support.

An £10 donation can 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.

Thank you!

39 miles in!

Saturday 11th Oct
So chuffed to be getting these miles  in - 39 miles in and determined to smash the 62 miles target! 
Lots of walking in the evenings, lunchtime and weekends!  Feeling good that this could make some difference to someone spending their days with Demntia. Got to keep going! 

Mums journey with Dementia

Sunday 28th Sep
As some of you are aware my dear mum Jill lived with this life-destroying disease for many years and was in a care home for 7 of those years. My mum was the Sweetest, dearest soul you could wish to meet with a heart of gold. 
Watching  my  best friend , my mum, deteriorate with Alzheimers day by day. Week by week, month by month, year by year was heartbreaking.  
If we can all help just a little in the fight against Dementia , in trying to find  a cure and also helping sufferers right now in any support that we can give,  wouldn't that be amazing? 
Thank you all so much xxxxxxx

Well done Louise for supporting such a good cause. I specialised in working with younger people with dementia (under 65) covering the whole of Buckinghamshire. Sadly, there is still no cure for the dementia.
