Walk 62 Miles in October 2026

Help me reach my goal of £250

I'm walking 62 Miles in October for Dementia UK

This October, I'm walking 62 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!

My Updates

Two Days

Tuesday 29th Sep
In just TWO days I’ll be donning the walking boots as I walk 62 miles (maybe more 😉) throughout October.

I am walking in memory of my mum, the hardest working, loving, selfless, caring woman I have ever known.  And I feel so lucky & blessed to have had her in my life for 37 wonderful years.

Also in my thoughts will be family & friends who have lost loved ones to this cruel disease, and those who are currently going through the battle.

A spokesperson for Alzheimer’s Research UK recently published a statement, believing that someone living today could be the first person to be cured. 💙🩷

This walk is just my little way to help raise awareness & raise a little cash towards their important research, care & support.

I’ll be dropping daily updates on my progress throughout the month.

A massive thank you to those who have donated so far, & if you’re able to spare a few quid, I will be forever grateful.
