30 Mile Challenge in September for Dementia UK

This September, I'm participating in the 30 Mile challenge 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!

Mums recent 83rd Birthday 🩷

Friday 4th Sep
It’s good to get Mum out of the care home - we’re so lucky to still have her with us - dementia sucks though for Mum and all of us too 😭 Luckily Mum has a solid family network and we as her children have each other - many don’t and that’s why this fundraiser is so important… £33 pays for a dementia specialist nurse to spend an hour with people who need support. No one should go through this alone….

4th September Walk by Maggie & I

3rd September - 7 mile walk for Maggie and me

Thursday 3rd Sep
No rain today we set off with a rough idea where I was heading which was Walton Reservoir - it was 3 mile walk there with route taking me onto Chester Road up to the Walton Arms then over to Walton Gardens then up to the Res - a 5 min break was had I then decided to walk around it. Took some lovely photos along the way. The return walk back took us down to the Bridgewater Canal which we walked to  Stockton Heath village then home. Total walk was 7 miles and it took us (meaning me and Maggie) 2 hours and 45 minutes. 

My legs and hip feeling it abit on the last mile but we did it 🩷 

Home bathed and fed and now horizontal on my bed 🙂

2nd September Walk with Maggie 🐾🐶

Wednesday 2nd Sep
Today’s walk took us on to the Trans  Pennine  Trail  over to Latchford - mixed weather. Just over 3 mile completed - called into the care home to see Mum with a smile a pasty and a cake 🍰 A rainy walk back and now Maggies fast asleep! She walked her little socks off 🩷

Doing this in honour of my Mum and this awful illness  that took a grip of her in the last 12 months…  🥲

I know full well the impact this has on families and will do what bit I can to raise some funds for those in need of this vital support … 

My plan is walk a minimum of  60 miles in September with my pooch Maggie…  🚶‍♂️‍➡️🐶

No donation too small xx
