I'm walking 62 Miles in October

I’m walking 62 Miles in October and raising funds so that families affected by dementia get the specialist help and advice they need. I would be grateful for your support.

An £10 donation can cover the telephone costs of two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.

Thank you!

Why walk?

Tuesday 30th Sep

Hello everyone, Thank you so much for visiting our page and if you have donated Thank you so much for supporting me, my dad and Dementia uk.

My reason for taking on this 62 miles challenge is because back in 2021/2022 my dad started with Alzheimer’s and was diagnosed in 2023 when he was 66. Since then it has been a lot of ups and downs. I like to look at it as everyday is a school day. There’s always something new, some new challenge to tackle but often the same challenges too, as my dad forgets what we have already spoken about or sorted out so we go over it again. On the flip side my dad lives in a world where he lives in the fondness of his past and happy memories and isn’t troubled by the present. He takes all this on though with a smile and a joke always the joker which I’m glad he hasn’t lost :) Along the way I’ve looked to various charities for support and have used the information from Dementia UK to help support me and my dad. Doing these miles is my way of saying thank you and to give back.

My aim is to get my dad to do some of the walks with me at least twice a week. I’m hoping this will help with his mobility and mental health. I’ll post updates as we go. I’m aiming for 2 miles a day so fingers crossed :) thank you everyone. X
