I'm taking on the October Dog Walking Challenge

I’m walking 75 miles with my dog this October and raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.

An £8 donation could cover the telephone costs of two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.

Thank you!

Week 1, done!

Tuesday 7th Oct
1 week down and 15 miles in the bag 😃
I'm not going to lie, as much as I have enjoyed getting out and about, what may seem like an easy target, really is a challenge for me. 
On my second walk, I rolled my ankle twice before falling into a pile of stinging nettles (cue Ivy and Dougie going bonkers thinking this was the best game ever! 😅).
In other news, I have repeatedly wondered why I chose a dog walking challenge for my lazy-ass mutts 🤣 Dougie wants to be carried, Ivy wants to lie down....between us, we're not going anywhere fast, but we are going 🥰

Thank you to my Sponsors
