Jog 1 Mile a Day in April

I’m jogging a mile a day in April for Dementia UK

For anyone that knows me, knows I am almost anti fitness! 

Our family recently lost my beautiful Nanna to dementia. It was the longest goodbye watching the once independent, queen of our family, seek our support in ways we didn’t expect.  I didn’t know enough, but I certainly felt the impact of how it shaped our family and how we navigated the journey ahead. I haven’t really had the words to explain how this has felt since I lost her… maybe the jog will help me reflect each day and make sense of it all. 

We miss her everyday. I know she’d have loved me trying to attempt such a simple challenge to most but a huge one for me… she loved to run as young girl. 

Anyone who adds a bit of money to this will hopefully support in finding a cure quicker for future generations. I wouldn’t like to think any of my loved ones goes through what we have with Nanna Reet. 

So this is for you Nanna Reet and all those families needing that little extra support to navigate the tricky times ahead in what they describe as the long goodbye ❤️
