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!

Walking for my Dad
Saturday 20th DecMy dad has never had an easy journey with his health. Over the years, he’s battled Crohn’s disease, minor stroke, kidney problems, and more challenges than most people should have to face in a lifetime. He’s always been strong, even when his body wasn’t.
In March 2025, our world changed again when he was diagnosed with vascular dementia. Since then, I’ve been watching him slowly disappear in front of me. Memories fade, conversations change, and pieces of the man I know and love slip away. It’s heartbreaking in a way that’s hard to put into words, especially knowing there’s nothing I can do to stop it.
That feeling of helplessness is overwhelming. So in January, I’m walking 50 miles to raise money for Dementia UK. It’s my way of doing something, of turning grief, fear, and love into action. I want to feel like I’m giving back, like I’m helping support the nurses, families, and people like me and dad who are facing this cruel disease every day.
I know times are incredibly hard for everyone, and I completely understand that not everyone can donate. But if you’re able to spare even a small amount, it would mean more to me than I can say. Your support would help me feel a little less hopeless, knowing that i can make a small difference.
Thank you for reading, for caring, and for walking this journey with me. One step at a time. Un cam ar y tro🩵
