Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

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!

in memory of my mum

Saturday 3rd Jan
As many of you might know my dear old mum had dementia in the last few years of her life. Its a cruel disease and can rob you of any dignity at the end. 
Up until her diagnosis in her 80' she was relatively fit and well and she became an ardent traveller ( between here and Ireland 😉) 
I am trying to follow in her footsteps somewhat.. I have the travelling bit off to a tee but just need to keep as fit and healthy as possible..  So, this walking challenge seemed to tick all the boxes for me.. 
If you can donate anything at all I would be most grateful but if not just wish me luck x x
