I'm walking 31 Miles in May for Dementia UK

This May, I'm walking 31 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!

May Queen

Sunday 3rd May
Hi everyone!
Here we go again! I did a sponsored walk for Dementia UK a few years ago and I’m back to do another.
My dearest Mumma got her Alzheimer’s Diagnosis in 2023. Her (our, I was born on her 37th birthday) birthday is this month and she is my May Queen. Fighting this disease with a middle finger poised and with more bravery than I can ever imagine having. She has always been so very strong, resilient and a bit stubborn, and I wouldn’t be the woman I am today without her.
I also need to get fitter and this will be a wonderful motivation for that. Please give anything you can so we can continue to support those in need and for research. I wish every single day that we had a cure for this bastard disease, but  research is underfunded and this affects so many people in so many debilitating ways.
Apologies again for another fundraiser, I’ll try not to go too mental for this one, but please give whatever you can 💙

Thank you to my Sponsors
