I'm walking 62 Miles in October
I’m walking 62 Miles in October and raising funds so that families affected by dementia get the specialist help and advice they need. I would be grateful for your support.
An £10 donation can 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!

For the Mum who gave me everything, this one’s for you.
Monday 29th SepHi, I’m Simon. This October, I’m taking on the challenge of walking 62 miles to raise money for dementia support and research.
My wonderful Mum was first diagnosed with dementia in February 2020, and after a courageous journey, we sadly lost her in November 2023. Dementia is a cruel disease that slowly takes away the person you love. One of the hardest things was watching her lose the ability to do the things she loved — especially cooking her favourite Sunday meals for her kids and grandkids. But the most painful moment of all was when she no longer recognised me, and didn’t know I was her son. 💔
Every step I take is for Mum, and for the thousands of families who are affected by dementia every day.
If you’re able, please consider supporting me with a donation — no matter how small, it will make a real difference. Thank you for helping me keep Mum’s memory alive while working towards a world without dementia. 💜
