Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

Help me reach my goal of £500

I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK

Hi all. This January, I'm walking 50 Miles and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone. My Dad now sadly has Dementia, something that's deteriorated quite rapidly over the last 5 months, and we've witnessed and experienced how difficult it is for all involved, how sad it is to see someone get slowly taken away from you, and how emotionally exhausting it is and how difficult it can be for carers and family to cope with the changes Dementia brings. We never realised and as someone said, you don't need to know anything about it until you need to know EVERYthing about it.

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. We've found already that carer's are amazing.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Monday 19th Jan
Hi all, just a quick update so far on my efforts (some days directly after Christmas it WAS an effort!) to raise some money Dementia UK. I've raised £546 so far, and have completed 36.5 miles so far, so 13.5 miles to go to get to 50 miles. Thanks so much for sponsoring me, and helping me raise what I've raised so far, it will help people like my Dad, and us, and the carers who look after people with Dementia loads, so I really appreciate it. Obviously my feet don't, and I've now realised I need a new pair of walking shoes AND trabs, or at least do the laces up properly so I don't get blisters. Thanks again, I'll update again when I break 50 miles x

Thank you to my Sponsors
