I'm walking 30 Miles in September for Dementia UK

This September, I'm walking 30 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!

💙 30 MILES FOR DEMENTIA UK 💙

Tuesday 25th Aug

I’ve decided to challenge myself to walk 30 miles for Dementia UK in September.

This is so much more than just a walking challenge for me. Dementia is incredibly close to my heart.

I’m a nurse and a manager of a new care home specialising in dementia care, which we are currently preparing to open. Although our doors aren’t open yet, I’m incredibly passionate about creating a place where people living with dementia will feel safe, valued, respected and, most importantly, truly cared for.

My experience as a nurse has shown me just how much dementia can affect not only the person living with the condition, but also their families and the people who love and support them.

I believe that behind every diagnosis is a person someone with a lifetime of memories, stories, experiences, humour, love and personality.

That’s why I’m walking.

30 miles. 30 miles of raising awareness. 30 miles of showing my support. 30 miles for everyone affected by dementia.

Some days the miles might feel easy, and some days they might be a challenge. But every step will remind me why I’m doing this.

I’m hoping to raise as much as I can for Dementia UK and support the incredible work they do for people living with dementia and the families who care for them.

If you’d like to support me, whether that’s through a donation, sharing my page, joining me for a walk, or simply cheering me on, I would be incredibly grateful.

Because every step counts.

30 miles. One very important cause!
