Fans vs Dementia

I'm taking on Fans vs Dementia. Bet365 stadium to Old Trafford.

In memory of my Aunt Elaine i will be walking from Bet365 stadium to Old Trafford stadium to raise money for Dementia UK. 

During the course of 90 minutes, 30 people in the UK will develop dementia.

I’m taking on Fans vs Dementia and raising funds so that families affected by dementia get the specialist help and advice they need. I would be grateful for your support.

£19 could pay for the telephone costs of five families calling our free Helpline whenever they need support.

£33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.

Thank you!

Post challenge update.

Monday 27th Apr
We set off from bet365 Stadium at 1am. On route for Old Trafford. 
After 10 gruelling hours of walking, completing just over 30 miles, my body was in too much pain to carry on, being just 11 miles short of our destination. Gutted doesn't come close to how I feel about it but we had to call it a day. 
Meanwhile, machine Jenny was completely fine 🤯 
We were also joined by Sarah and Harley and I cant thank them all enough for joining me and supporting me through this. Couldn't have got to where I did without them. We gritted our teeth through the pain and kept pushing ourselves past our limits. Pain aside we did have a good laugh. 

Julie Peacock and Amy were a godsend for coming to our rescue when we needed them 🥰💜

Thank you to everybody who has supported us by sharing our fundraiser and donating it means the world to us. Once I'm healed I will make up for the 11 mile loss. 

Can't express how much I am amazed by all of your generous donations which are so gratefully appreciated! They will make a huge difference in helping other families.
