I'm walking 30 miles in September

I’m walking 30 Miles in September and raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.

An £8 donation could cover the telephone costs of two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.

Thank you!

Day 24. Feels like 🍂🍁

Wednesday 24th Sep
Beautiful early eve walk.  Crunchy leaves and acorns underfoot. Blue skies. And sheep....lots of them. Truly the kind of walk that makes you feel alive. The challenge is almost complete just 6 days left. So happy to have walked on mum's memory this year. It is almost 4 months since she left us so this year feels a great year to raise awareness of dementia x

In memory of mum

Saturday 16th Aug
Mum was diagnosed with Lewey body dementia several years ago. It was a bizarre kind of dementia the led to her mostly living in a world of hallucinations !! The queen became a part of our family with mum insisting they were great friends and she gifted mum all manner of things from slippers to houses...wouldn't it have been
nice if the latter were true !?! Ha ha
Sadly mums journey ended on the 26th May 2025 and we all miss her every much.
I impulsively signed up to walk 30 miles in September as felt it was a challenge that was doable, don't want to fail whilst doing something in mums memory ! 
Dementia UK are a great charity that guide
 families through all the different types of dementia, so I know all monies raised will be
 put to great use.
I will update throughout the month of September and keep putting one foot in front of the other moving forward x
