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.

Dementia is a condition which has personally touched my close family and many others in my circle of friends. It's one of the hardest to negotiate as the experience is different for everyone, sudden changes are often difficult to manage and support can make all the difference to all involved. 

Walking and exercise in general I find hard especially in the cold so this is going to be a tough challenge for me but one I hope will not only do good for the charity but burn off some of that Xmas excess! 

Thank you for reading and your support!
