Walk 30 Miles in September 2026

Help me reach my goal of £250

Join the Facebook group for Walk 30 miles in September challenge.

I'm walking 30 Miles in September for Dementia UK - a mile a day!

This September, I am walking 30 Miles and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone.

This cause is deeply personal to me. My mum was diagnosed earlier this year with a mix of Vascular Dementia and Alzheimer's, and the impact has been felt by all of us. No one person's journey with this disease looks the same. I am lucky to be part of a strong family, but even so, we still need support on this incredibly challenging journey. It is hard, and it is sad, and that is exactly why I am walking.

Every mile and every pound raised helps Dementia UK be there for families like mine.

DAY 21 and it's World Alzheimer's Day

Monday 21st Sep

Hello lovely ones

Day twenty one, and today feels especially poignant. It's World Alzheimer's Day, and this month I'm walking one mile each day for Dementia UK, supporting families living with dementia. Just back from a lovely walk in the sunshine with Mr N and Ziggy.

Did you know that £25 could pay for a carer to receive an hour of one to one support from a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse on the free Helpline. If you're able to, no matter how much, I'd love your support.

Much love, Mandy Xx

Half way there

Tuesday 15th Sep

Hello lovely ones

Day fifteen, and halfway there. Fifteen miles down, fifteen to go for Dementia UK.

Much love, Mandy Xx


A visit to see Mum

Sunday 13th Sep
Yesterday we drove South again to spend some time with Mum. Can hardly believe it was 5 weeks ago since Mum was admitted to St Peter’s. We had a good visit. We were able to take Mum outside for the first time - special moments. I made some cheese scones before we set off and it was such a joy to see her devour 2 with butter and cheese. 
This journey is a roller coaster of emotions and you take joy from wherever you can. 
Thank you to those who have donated to such an incredible charity. 
I have done more than a mile a day but will only count a mile a day to make sure we talk about dementia as many days as possible in September.

Day 10 - Mr N & I did the mile together

Thursday 10th Sep
Hello lovely ones Day ten, and it has been Mr N and I walking today, mostly around Ideas Fest in Tring. An interesting day out, but the mile still got done. A mile for Dementia UK, every day. If you have not sponsored me yet and would like to, every £ helps Dementia UK be there for families like mine. Much love, Mandy Xx

Day 9 - a walk across the fields

Wednesday 9th Sep

Day nine. Ziggy and I had a lovely walk across the field by the house and back, and that was near enough a mile.

Nine miles done, twenty one to go.

Much love, Mandy Xx

Day eight and 8 miles done ... 22 to go

Tuesday 8th Sep

Hello lovely ones

Day eight and another mile done. This time it was just Ziggy and I - you'll see him doing his bit in my Facebook post.

One of my sisters and niece are off to spend some time with Mum in hospital today, and we always wait for the stories when one of us gets back. When Mr N and I were there on Sunday, we had a few bright moments, but it is hard getting your head around the reality of this dementia journey. It seems so unfair for Mum, and for us all too.

Thank you for walking this alongside me, in more ways than one.

Much love, Mandy Xx

Day 7 accompanied by Mr N & Ziggy

Monday 7th Sep
Hello lovely ones Day seven, accompanied by Mr N and Ziggy, to be honest most of my walks are. I could not do this without my two favourite walking companions. And would you believe it, I am just £1 off my target. £1! Let us smash through it today. Thank you all so much, let's do this. Much love, Mandy Xx

It is day five

Saturday 5th Sep

Hello lovely ones

It is day five. I missed my update yesterday as I was at a wedding but I did not miss my mile, and today's is done too.

Tomorrow I am off to visit Mum, and I will make sure I fit my mile in somewhere between the journey and the visit. Nothing is stopping these 30 miles.

I also want to say a huge thank you to the wonderful people who have already donated. I cannot believe how close I already am to my target. You know who you are, and you are truly thoughtful, kind human beings. I appreciate you more than you know.

Much love, Mandy Xx

Day Three - 1 mile done ... 27 to go

Thursday 3rd Sep

Day three, another mile down. Twenty seven to go for Dementia UK.

As I walk, I am taking the time to think about my Mum and all that's happening right now and why I am doing this. Every mile is for families going through what mine is going through.

Thank you for all the kind messages so far, they really do keep me going.

Much love, Mandy Xx

Day two - a mile in the rain

Wednesday 2nd Sep

Day two, a mile in the rain. Not the sunniest start but the miles still count.

Twenty eight to go for Dementia UK. Onwards.

Much love, Mandy Xx

First day, first mile done.

Tuesday 1st Sep

The 30 mile challenge for Dementia UK has officially begun, and it feels so good to have started.

Thank you to those who have already sent good wishes and support, it means the world. Twenty nine miles to go.

Much love, Mandy Xx
