Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

Help me reach my goal of £500

I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK

This January, I'm walking 50 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!

Why this matters so much

Wednesday 31st Dec
I’m
Doing this for my lovely Nanna Vi who had vascular dementia. We tried desperately to keep her in her own home but eventually she needed to be in a care home which she never wanted but thankfully will not remember. We lost her 2 years before her death. We had the odd good day where she would be more  lucid. Others asking for her mum
And crying like she was still a girl, not remembering her husband had died, and not recognising her grandkids or remembering our names.  Forgetting anyone had  visited her and in pain and thinking no one's came to help her.  Forgetting eventually how to feed herself.  She was such a strong woman who made it to her 90’s and was so fiercely independent and caring, she made me who I am
Today and will be forever missed. I’m doing this so other people never have to experience this and so researchers can prevent and delay onset and who knows even stop it ever happening. 

Thank you to my Sponsors

Sarah, 3 years ago I lost my dear mum to Vascular Dementia. It's a cruel and horrid illness. You lose the person you love long before the disease takes them from you. I'm donating to support you, and of course in honour of mum, Rosemary Anne White. God bless you and good luck 🍀🤞💕
