I'm walking 62 Miles in October for Dementia UK
This October, I'm walking 62 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!

62 Miles of Gratitude: Walking for Those Who Taught Me So Much 💜
Tuesday 6th OctThis October, I’m walking 62 miles to raise money for dementia, dedicating my steps to the lovely service users I cared for in my previous workplaces.
When you work in care, you hope to make a difference to someone’s life. What you don’t always realise is just how much they will make a difference to yours.
The people I supported taught me so much. They helped me develop patience, gave me valuable insights into life, and shared advice that has stayed with me long after my time working with them ended. Through conversations, laughter and those little everyday moments, they gave me beautiful memories that I’ll always treasure.
They each had their own personality, their own story and so much to offer. I feel lucky to have been part of their lives, and to have had them become part of mine.
Working in care taught me how much it matters to slow down, listen and help someone feel valued. Sometimes the smallest things—a familiar face, a reassuring word or simply sitting together—can mean so much.
That’s why this challenge is personal to me. Every mile is a thank you to the people who taught me, trusted me and left such a lasting impression on my heart. It’s also for everyone living with dementia today, and the families and carers beside them.
If you’re able to donate, any amount would mean so much. If you can’t, sharing my page is another lovely way to support me and help raise awareness.
62 miles, with so many beautiful people and memories in mind. This one’s for you. 💜
