I'm walking 124k with Rosco for Dementia UK
This March, I'm walking 124K with Rosco 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. Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £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.
This charity is very close to my heart, any donation is appreciated! Thank you!

Monday 24th Mar Quick walk to and from nursery this morning and then went for a bit of a longer walk this afternoon, but not long enough! Oh well! Share
day twenty-three.. 3.47km✅
Sunday 23rd Mar Just over 2km this morning, all ready to do another 2/2.5km this afternoon, but the dog decided nope, we'll do just under 1.5km and then that's it, we're done. Wouldn't budge 😂 Share
day twenty-two.. 1.36km✅
Saturday 22nd Mar busy day today and then the rain came! so only a quick one this morning 😔 Share
day twenty one.. 3.92km✅
Friday 21st Mar Struggled on the second walk today! But 10 days to go, and about 3.8km a day needed to reach my target 💪 Share
day nineteen.. 3.54km ✅
Wednesday 19th Mar One big long walk in the beautiful sunshine today, Daisy slept in her pushchair so we did a full 3.54km. Unfortunately Rosco is now so tired we can't get out again today to make up some more km's 😂 Share
day seventeen.. 3.55km ✅
Monday 17th Mar Busy day today but managed to squeeze in 3.55km, happy enough😊 Share

Sunday 16th Mar Half way! And I've gone over the half way mark so I'm a happy bunny, we can do this💪💪 Share
day fifteen.. 4.45km ✅
Saturday 15th Mar I'm glad I skipped the second walk yesterday and saved my ankle because it feels so much better today and we've managed 2 walks! 😊 Share
day fourteen.. 2.6km ✅
Friday 14th Mar Two weeks in... Unfortunately my ankle is really painful today so we've only managed the nursery drop off and nursery pick up.. 😔 Hopefully my ankle recovers soon cause I've got some catching up to do😬 Share
day thirteen.. 4.12km ✅
Thursday 13th Mar Back on track 💪 I may have hobbled round the second walk but the sun was out so we grabbed our chance ☀️ Share
day twelve.. 2.13km✅
Wednesday 12th Mar Managed just over 2km this morning, but the on and off rain and a poorly ankle (hoping it's just a twist) means that's all we can get done today! 😞 Pretty sure it's still an average of 4km a day to do to achieve the target, which we can do! Share
day eleven.. 5.1km ✅
Tuesday 11th Mar Thought we were only gonna get out once today so did a longer walk to nursery. Then I got back earlier than expected, but it was raining... for about 10 minutes, so we waited and then braved the cold. It was definitely worth it, because I now feel good about doing 5.1km over a potential 2.6km! Share
day ten.. 4.13km ✅
Monday 10th Mar 4.13km, taking Daisy to nursery plus an afternoon walk, bit colder today 😬 Share
day nine.. 3km ✅
Sunday 9th Mar 3km on the family walk today, i was going to try and get out this evening again but Rosco is pooped bless him! Will make up the kilometres another day!☺️ Share
day eight.. 5.11km ✅
Saturday 8th Mar didn't think I was going to squeeze 2 walks in but we did it 💪💪 Share
day seven.. 4.25km✅
Friday 7th Mar day seven, a week in.. 4.25km over two walks today and what lovely weather we've had for it! ☺️ Share
day six..
Thursday 6th Mar So I've worked out my watch hasn't been picking up my full distances, I think it's when I'm pushing Daisy in the pushchair! I've worked out my distances on a map and manually added them to my page. I've worked out I'm currently at 24.92km. So about 139km to go, 25 days... it's gonna be a struggle but we'll do it💪💪 Share
day four.. 2.39km ✅
Tuesday 4th Mar Only 2.39km today, not feeling too great so will have some making up to do! 😞 Share
day three.. 3.53km✅
Monday 3rd Mar 1km on the nursery run this morning ✅2.5km on the afternoon walk, would have been longer but Daisy saw the park... Then decided to play in the muddy puddles in Crocs... So we had to go home🤦
Share
day one.. 4.59km ✅
Saturday 1st Mar day one and we've had two walks today! thankfully the weather has been nice for us and we've enjoyed it! Share
Doubling up...
Wednesday 19th Feb Thank you for all the donations so far! It's very much appreciated.I used my watch to check the distance of mine and Rosco's walk today, 1.5km!
So I'm going to make it a challenge and double the distance! Instead of 62km in a month we'll be walking 124km instead!
Thanks for reading 😊

Just a hello...
Tuesday 18th Feb Hello 👋I saw this challenge pop up on my Facebook page and straight away signed up!
Dementia UK is a very important charity to me and my family, and I know how much they need fundraising right now.
It will be a challenge for me because currently the dog walks are once a day for about 30 minutes, and I'm not sure of the actual kilometres we do! I'm hoping March will bring lighter evenings so we can do multiple walks and achieve that 62km goal! I'm sure it'll be an easy enough challenge for Rosco though!
Thank you for reading!
