I'm taking on the October Dog Walking Challenge

 Throughout October I will be walking 75 miles with one of my dogs - Spike, Molly will join us as much as her little old legs can manage! 

We are doing this to raise funds for Dementia UK who are a specialist dementia nursing charity who provide support, advice and understanding to families affected by dementia. Spike and 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!
