Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

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.

Thank you!

Week 3

Thursday 22nd Jan
Thank you so much to everyone who has sponsored poppy and I it is very much appreciated 

I think poppy and I will continue this as it’s been great at getting us both out after work and all the running about after work that I do , so it’s been good to focus on getting out 

This week we did  23.91 miles 

Thanks again xx 

Week 2 done

Thursday 15th Jan
Can’t believe week 2 is done , it sure is flying in 🥳

Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged both wee poppy and I , it is truly appreciated. 🐶 the pooch is a fab wee fundraiser , if only they did one for the amount of plastic bottles you can pick up in a month we could totally smash that xx 

Hopefully by doing this raises some much needed funds and  helps families experiencing this  cruel disease.  

This week we managed to do 23,53 miles 

Thank you again it is honestly so appreciated 
Much love xx

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far it’s much appreciated 

Day 5 Monday

Sunday 4th Jan
Monday after two weeks off and back to normality 

Lovely walk first thing with a beautiful sky but freezing 🥶 but we did 2.65 km and I got to wear my new hat with a wee light fabulous Christmas gift  and after work we did another wee stroll and it was still freezing but was lovely to get out and we did 2.01km 


Day 3 &4

Sunday 4th Jan
Well day 3 was done out door walking with poppy and some of her favourite 4 legged pals then some indoor walking round the shopping centre 

Day 4 was one of poppys favourite places as she gets off the lead  and gets to roll about the grass , thankfully it was frosty 

Day 2

Friday 2nd Jan
Wow it’s been a cold one today thankfully no snow ❄️ yet 

2 walks today however I keep forgetting to start my walk on my watch or phone 🤣

Today’s walks were 3.01km & 2.58km  
Happy Friday 


Day 1 and first walk of 2026

Thursday 1st Jan
First walk of January 50 miles for dementia challenge . 

The dog ( aka Poppy )and I  headed out and after a slow start of sniffing every area , the dog not me . We finally picked up speed once the wee eco warrior picked up a  plastic bottle . 

First walk and we did 3.05km 

The reason for doing this

Wednesday 31st Dec
I wanted to start the year doing something positive and the bonus is getting out more for a walk, getting wrapped up and getting fresh air 

Dementia has impacted family and friends families so if you can donate something it would be very much appreciated . 

Poppy dog  is joining me on the walks , so they might take me longer as she does not like to miss an opportunity to sniff 🤩

Thank you
