Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

Help me reach my goal of £150

I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK

This January, I'm walking 50 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 have chosen to do the walk 50 miles for Dementia.

Sunday 21st Dec
This January, I’m taking on a 50-mile walk in memory of my Grandad, who sadly passed away in 2024 after living with dementia. Dementia affects not only those diagnosed, but also the people who love and care for them, and it’s something my family has seen firsthand.
Every mile I walk is for my Grandad and for the countless families facing similar journeys. If you’re able to donate, no matter how big or small, it would mean so much and help support vital work around dementia. Thank you for taking the time to read and for any support you can give.
