I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK

This May, I'm walking 31 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!

Day 1

Friday 1st May
Well today is 1 May and I did my first walk 1.23 miles. I was thinking that I walk that much each day but as it turned out how had to go and do a specific, set walk. It took me over 20 minutes. It would be good to get a little faster.

Seems appropriate that I spent time with Mum. She started her dementia medication yesterday and all seems well. Her mixed dementia diagnosis has been upsetting. But we hope that the drugs will help and and that she can stay positive.

Anyway - 30 days to go!

Thank you to my Sponsors

Well done Maz, this is a cause close to our hearts too. Amanda was diagnosed with young onset mixed dementia (vascular and Alzheimer's) last October which has turned out lives upside down. Thanks for doing the fundraiser - best of luck with the challenge. If you want a companion to walk with one day let me know.
