Run 100K in February '26

I'm running 100K for Dementia UK

This February, I'm running 100K 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!

Just a gentle walk with the dog today, and trying to relax ready to start tomorrow…….
Thinking a bit of a bigger run to start with - takes the stress out of the rest of the week 🤞
Good luck to everyone undertaking this challenge.
Love to everyone effected my Dementia - we are here for you all x

Here we go…..

Friday 30th Jan
So, I only started running again in January 2026, having had a knee op in 2025 and losing sufficient weight to get going again!

I won’t lie, this is going to be a massive challenge for me, but im ready to give it my all! 

This is for you Mum xxxxx
