I'm walking 62 Miles in October for Dementia UK
This October, I'm walking 62 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!

Auntie, this one’s for you.
Thursday 17th SepOver the past few years, I’ve watched dementia slowly change my auntie, and I’ve seen first-hand just how heartbreaking this illness can be — not only for the person living with it, but for the whole family around them.
Dementia takes so much. It changes everyday life, creates uncertainty and brings challenges that no family is ever really prepared for. Watching someone you love struggle with things that once came so naturally is incredibly difficult, and seeing the effect it has had on our family has made me realise just how important support, understanding and research are.
That’s why I’ve decided to take part in this walk for dementia.
For me, this isn't just about raising money or completing a walk. I’m walking for my auntie. ❤️
I want her to know that no matter how difficult things become, she is not facing this alone. She has a whole family standing beside her, loving her, supporting her and walking every step of this journey with her.
Dementia may change many things, but it will never change how much she means to us.
So every step I take will be for her, for our family, and for every other family watching someone they love live with dementia.
Auntie, this one’s for you. We’re all right here beside you. 💙
