Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK in memory of my wonderful dad Alan ❤️

Dementia affects so many families today and I am taking on this small challenge with my lovely dad Alan in mind. Dementia is hard both for the person it affects but also the loved ones who see them slipping away. Every little bit helps .  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!

Dementia affects so many families in many different ways. The harsh reality of knowing that the wonderful brain that holds all our memories and thoughts and every day workings will slowly change and fade over time ….. the loved one may not always recognise or know you but always hold on to the fact that you know and love them and that is more than enough sometimes to get you through x

First few days

Friday 2nd Jan
Off to a good start
