I'm walking 30 Miles in September for Dementia UK
This September, I'm walking 30 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!

💙 90 MILES COMPLETE — 300% OF MY ORIGINAL GOAL! 💙
Saturday 3rd OctWhen I started this challenge for Dementia UK, I set myself a target of walking 30 miles.
I’m incredibly pleased to say I didn’t just reach it — I ended up walking 90 miles! 🚶♂️
That’s three times my original target and every one of those miles was walked to help raise money for Dementia UK and the invaluable support they provide to people living with dementia and their families.
A huge thank you to everyone who has already donated, supported me and encouraged me along the way. It’s been genuinely appreciated. 💙
🙏 Now for one final call for donations…
If you’ve been meaning to donate but haven’t had the chance yet, there’s still time. Every donation, however big or small, helps support the incredible work of Dementia UK.
🎯 Original target: 30 miles
🚶♂️ Actually walked: 90 miles
🏆 300% of my goal completed
The walking is finished — now I’d love to finish the fundraising on a high.
Thank you so much for all your support. 💙
Walking for Dementia UK
Monday 24th AugOne week to go! 🚶♂️💙
In just one week, I’ll be starting my challenge to walk 30 miles throughout September to raise money for Dementia UK.
This is a cause that has become incredibly personal to me. My dad was diagnosed with dementia, and seeing first-hand the impact this awful disease has — not only on the person living with it, but also on their family and loved ones — is heartbreaking.
I wanted to do something positive and raise money for Dementia UK, helping them continue to provide vital support and specialist advice to families affected by dementia.
The official challenge is 30 miles… but I’m hoping to go quite a bit further! I haven’t decided on a target yet, so I’ll see how the legs hold up and keep you updated along the way! 😅
If you’re able to sponsor me, any amount, no matter how small, would mean a lot and will help support a fantastic charity doing incredibly important work.
Thank you so much to everyone who supports me. 💙
30 miles is the target — let’s see how far I can actually go! 🚶♂️
