I'm swimming for Dementia UK
I'm taking on a 30-Day Swimming 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!

For my mum
Wednesday 19th AugMy mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in May 2025, a disease her mother and sister also had. It has taken a lot of things from her and from those of us around her.
I was off work for 4 months, dealing with the repercussions of this horrific disease. My friends and family supported me so much, but also charities like Dementia UK and Alzheimer’s Scotland were an invaluable resource.
So, I plan to swim 12km over a month, to support families affected by Alzheimer’s, and contribute towards a future where fewer people have to face the devastating impact of this disease.
Thank you to everyone who has donated and shared so far. My mum may not remember, but I do.
