Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK

This January, I'm walking 50 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!

50 Miles in January 2026

Saturday 27th Dec
As with a lot of people I hadn’t known about dementia until my Mum was diagnosed with the illness last year. It hits you and the family really hard to see someone you love struggling to remember and when you look back you can see that early signs weren’t picked up and now all we can do is stay positive and keep caring. Researching into this illness is really important to everyone as it doesn’t discriminate and if we can find a cure or at least get a better understanding of how to fight dementia then we are doing something positive for future generations. Any donations are gratefully received no matter how much.
