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. Dementia is so very cruel, it strips away at those you love in so many ways until there is nothing left, Mam suffered so much. She had us by her side even though at times she didn’t know, I hope she could feel the love ❤️ 

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. 

Thank you!

Hi Sharon It's James (McCartney). My mum was diagnosed with dementia this year. She is now in a home but I spend at least one week in four with her. At present it is mild but dont know how it will evolve. I think it's great you doing this walk. A very worthy cause. Good luck! XX
