Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

Help me reach my goal of £250

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.

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!

For everyone who has lived or living with this disease

Sunday 4th Jan
It’s been many year’s now since my dad died of this terrible disease. He died in 2017 but  I regularly speak to someone who has a lived experience of Dementia usually a  loved one coming to terms with the daily challenges of spending time with someone they love but who they don’t recognise any longer or maybe they do just for that fleeting moment. 
I read regularly that there seems to be breakthroughs here and there but we are a long way off. Whilst we wait for the magic bullet. I give praise to the organisations that help us get on with our day, Admiral nurses, provided so much advice whilst my dad was on the journey. Becoming a Dementia friend, helped when out and about to understand how to react when the challenges occur. Recognising dementia friendly initiatives and groups that give that little bit of respite during the day. 
I give thanks that we are all becoming a bit more aware, in helping someone that we love who are lost in their world and stepping back from the everyday. 

Thank you to my Sponsors
