I'm walking 62 Miles in October

I’m walking 62 Miles in October and raising funds so that families affected by dementia get the specialist help and advice they need. I would be grateful for your support.

An £10 donation can 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!

Paula’s fundraiser for dementia

Wednesday 15th Oct

My name is Paula, and I’m raising funds for dementia research and support in honour of someone incredibly special: my mum. She’s currently living with dementia.  I see how this cruel illness chips away at the life she once lived, and the person we’ve always known and loved.

Dementia doesn’t just steal memories — it takes away connection, identity, and independence. It’s devastating, not just for the person diagnosed, but for every family member who stands by helplessly, trying to hold on to pieces of the person they once knew.

To honour my mum, I’ve committed to walking an extra 2 miles every day. It’s a small act, but it’s filled with love, purpose, and determination — for her, and for every family who knows the heartbreak of dementia.
