Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK

This January, I'm walking 50 Miles with my two daughters Lilly and Eva, raising funds for Dementia UK.

Did you know: According to a study published in JAMA Neurology, older adults between the ages of 40 and 79 who took 9,826 steps per day (about five miles) were 50% less likely to develop dementia within seven years.

I have also given up drinking alcohol since beginning of November, for health,  to feel empowered and ready for whatever challenges come my way and feeling happy!!!!

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.

Lots of love and Thank you!

Walking for health and happiness

Monday 5th Jan
Lilly and I have been on a couple of long woodland walks so far. Talking and walking in nature is so therapeutic. We have an actual paper Ordinance Survey map to try out new woodland routes to walk in our area. 
A great start to the new year. 
Walking releases cortisol and allows the body to relax and restore. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
