Walk 31 Miles in May 2026

Help me reach my goal of £250

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!

Saturday 2nd May
Hi everyone.

I’m taking on this walk in support of my husband and his family, after my mother-in-law was diagnosed with dementia a couple of years ago. It’s been a challenging journey for us all, and one that has opened my eyes to just how deeply this condition affects not only the individual, but everyone who loves them.
As someone of African descent, this cause is also very personal to me in another way. In many communities back home, dementia is still widely misunderstood. Sadly, people living with the condition are sometimes believed to be under the influence of evil spirits or accused of witchcraft, rather than receiving the care and compassion they truly need.
That’s why this walk means so much to me. It’s not just about raising funds—it’s about raising awareness, changing perceptions, and encouraging understanding. Every step I take is for my family, and for all those who deserve to be seen, supported, and treated with dignity

Thank you to my Sponsors
