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.

For those that know me well, my darling wife Lorraine has Lewy Body Dementia and the specialist Admiral Nurse ‘Emily’ has been truly wonderful in her support to both Lorraine and I.  Without her  and the rest of the social care and medical staff I doubt either of us would still be here today! 

Thank you!
