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 walking in May.

Wednesday 1st Apr

Mum passed away on 29th September 2025. 😔 

Her birthday is on 18th May, so it feels especially meaningful that I’m doing this walk in May to help raise funds for Dementia UK.

Watching mum decline was heartbreaking, and I wouldn’t want other families to go through what we did. Not knowing how she would be each time I visited was really tough. Would she be happy and know who I was? Would she be upset and not know where she was? Not even know that her husband and parents had passed away? Dementia is a cruel illness for both the person and their family.

If you’re able to make a donation, no matter how small, I would be very grateful.

And thank you to everyone who helped look after mum. I know she thanked you when she could. 💖
