I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK
As some of you may know, I've been privileged to spend a few years working in the tech space of senior care - but this time I want to do something different.
This May, I’m walking 31 miles for Dementia UK.
Not for a challenge. Not for fitness. But because dementia touches far more families than we often realise.
Dementia UK is a 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.
That’s why I’m taking on this small challenge - one mile for each day in May - to support the incredible work Dementia UK does in providing specialist nurses and guidance to those navigating this journey.
Thank you!

Halfway There Folks!
Saturday 16th MayIts halfway through May… and I’ve already walked over 29 of the 31 miles I committed to for Dementia UK. 💙🩷I'm a bit of an over-achiever, I guess 🤦🏾
What’s even more encouraging is that together we’ve raised £249 of the target so far. Thank you to everyone who has donated, shared, encouraged, or simply taken the time to support this challenge. Every contribution matters - and it's not too to donate, friends.
In the UK, this month has been a reminder that dementia affects far more than memory - it affects families, routines, relationships, and everyday life in ways many people quietly carry behind closed doors. To me these walks have become more than just miles. They’ve been moments to reflect, appreciate, and raise awareness for an incredible cause.
Working within the tech care space, we see how important compassion, patience, and support truly are for those navigating this journey.
There’s still a little way to go, and every bit of support helps. Please feel free to make a donation https://lnkd.in/eXWYD8st
Thank you again for walking this journey with me - you know who you are. I'll be back with another update at the end of the month. 💙
