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!

Why I’m Taking On This Challenge

Friday 1st May
My grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s a few years ago. For a long time, her condition declined slowly, and we tried to adapt as a family to the changes that came with it.
But last month, everything changed. She was hospitalised with pneumonia, and since then her mental capacity has declined rapidly. Seeing that shift has been incredibly difficult. 
It’s heartbreaking watching someone you love become confused, not understanding what’s happening to them or why they can’t recognise the people around them.
Dementia doesn’t just affect the person diagnosed it affects the whole family. It slowly takes away memories, understanding, and independence. And for those around them, it means trying to stay strong and supportive while witnessing that loss unfold.

That’s why this challenge means so much to me.
My cousin and I have decided to take on Dementia UK’s May challenge to raise money for a charity that supports families going through exactly this. 
Even in a big family like ours, this journey has been incredibly tough, and we’ve seen just how important that support can be.

We’re doing this for my grandmother, and for every family facing the same reality.

If you’re able to donate or share this page, it would honestly mean the world. Every contribution helps make a difference for families navigating dementia.

Thank you so much for your support.
