March Dog Walking Challenge

Help me reach my goal of £1,000

Minnie is walking for Dementia UK during March

This March,  Minnie will be walking at least 62K, she actually hopes to walk 100 miles or 160 km to raise funds  for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, and would be grateful for your support.

Your donation, big or small, makes a difference. Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £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!

Minnie says a big Thank You!

Monday 7th Apr
I couldn’t let us fall short of the £1000 target after everyone has been so kind in donating and supporting Minnie and me during this challenge. So now we’ve done it. Walked 111 miles and raised over £1000. Thank you so much to everyone who contributed.

LAST DAY

Monday 31st Mar
CAN WE DO IT?
We need to walk just over 3 miles and raise another £180 today to reach our new targets. 
From the beginning I said I would round the total up to the next £100. So we only need donations of £81 to achieve our target of  £1000. 

Done it!

Saturday 29th Mar
100 miles with 3 days to go. We’ve walked 100 miles and raised the incredible sum of £701. But can we make it £750 by the end of the month.

Fantastic achievement, and a cause close to my heart, as my father sadly passed away almost five years ago having suffered from vascular dementia. Good luck, and no blisters!
