Walk 62 Miles in October 2026

Join the Facebook group and the Strava club for Walk 62 miles in October challenge.

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 remember going for a walk with my Dad and asking him if he knew who I was, "no, sorry" was the embarrassed reply and then his genuine surprise to hear I was one of his sons. Dementia slowly takes away a person piece by piece, heartbreaking for their loved ones and terrible for those afflicted. With your donations they can provide vital specialist dementia nursing services, so more families can access life-changing support and live as well as possible, for as long as possible. 

Thank you

Progress update

Friday 9th Oct
9 days in, 14 walks and 35 km covered 

We're off

Thursday 1st Oct
At the moment I'm planning to only include walking activities that I'm adding to Strava towards the 100km target, rather than factoring in a daily step count which would include 2-3 hours of football per week and incidental steps around the house which would take me most of the way to the total. Time will tell if I regret this choice

2 walks so far = 3.8km, ahead of the daily 3.33 requirement

Thursday 10th Sep
Joe has always been wildly inappropriate, scary to think that his behaviour might exaggerate with the effects of Lewy Body Dementia. I can't think of anyone more deserving of your support than Fran and Joe, the kindest most selfless people you could ever have the good fortune to know.

Thoughts

Thursday 10th Sep
62 miles is 2 miles a day, seems very achievable .. except that I work from home every day and barely move. If I can't fit in some steps during the week I'm going to be doing 25km every weekend, not a good idea
