Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

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!

Milestone Reached

Monday 26th Jan
I started the month really well, however, I have managed it and completed it with days to spare, although I found it hard at the end. I will continue to walk until the end of January if my foot injury allows me to.

I’m really happy with amount that has been achieved for Dementia Uk, and send my heartfelt thanks to all that have sponsored me.

Final Stretch

Sunday 25th Jan
After resting my foot for a number of days, I feel confident that tomorrow I’m going to be able to cross the line for Dementia UK.
Well done to everyone, especially those who have finished already.
