Walk 62 Miles in October 2026

Help me reach my goal of £250

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.

Thank you!

Final walk 🚶😎

Sunday 1st Nov
🐴 **THE FINAL WALK IS DONE!** 🚶‍♀️🎉

And what a way to finish! My final 2.1 miles took place in the beautiful New Forest, where I even spotted a few horses who seemed considerably less bothered about completing a walking challenge than I was! 😂

So, that's October officially wrapped up!

**My grand total: 109.79 MILES!** 🥳

And the best news... **I've smashed my £250 fundraising target!** ❤️

When I signed up to walk 2 miles a day for Dementia UK, I knew it would be a challenge, particularly with my dodgy hips and back occasionally reminding me that I'm not 21 anymore! 😂

But it's been about so much more than keeping fit.

Dementia UK is a charity very close to my heart. My dad lived with dementia for a few years, and I know how much this condition affects not just the person living with it, but their family and everyone around them.

One of the biggest surprises has been how much pushing myself off the sofa and getting outdoors has helped my mental health. Fresh air, exploring different places, seeing the occasional horse and having a purpose each day has done me the world of good.

It's reminded me that sometimes the hardest part is simply putting your shoes on and getting out of the door!

A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has donated, shared my posts, encouraged me or cheered me along. You've helped me reach my target and I'm genuinely grateful. ❤️

Although I've reached my £250 target, donations are still very welcome. Every extra pound will help Dementia UK continue supporting families affected by this cruel condition.

If you've been following my walks and haven't had a chance to donate, there's still time!

109.79 miles, countless pairs of walking shoes and a few aching bits later... I think I've earned a rest!

Although knowing me, I'll probably be back out walking tomorrow! 😂☕
