Walk 30 Miles in September 2026

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!

Dementia and The D'Onofrio's

Sunday 30th Aug
Dementia is not a single, specific disease. Instead, it is an umbrella term used to describe a collection of symptoms caused by an ongoing decline in brain function.

This cause is important to me as we have a close family member with dementia, and it doesn't actually look how you would expect it to.  For example, our loved one is 89 and still working!  It's not a straightforward disease that is easy to treat and the impact on family members is significant.

And whilst we are not (yet maybe) using the services of Admiral nurses etc, that may change in the future, and any support that can be provided for people with dementia and those helping care for them is invaluable - it can be a heartbreaking experience.

Thank you, genuinely, for any donation you can give.
