October Dog Walking Challenge 2025

I'm taking on the October Dog Walking Challenge

I’m walking 75 miles with my dog this October and raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.

My 86 year old mum has been living with Alzheimer’s Dementia since 2024 and it’s very challenging for her and our wider family., so it’s a cause very close to our hearts ❤️

An £8 donation could 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!
