I'm taking on the October Dog Walking Challenge

I’m walking 75 miles with my dog this October and raising funds for families affected by dementia. I would be grateful for your support.

An £8 donation could cover the telephone costs of two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline. £33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.

Thank you!

Friday 31st Oct
My mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s 2 years ago. In those 2 years she has deteriorated from independence and driving to prolonged periods of confusion and disorientation. Us as a family have found things increasingly more difficult and this was my main motivation for fundraising. 
Through my work as an IPCN for Fife care homes, I meet exceptional carers and nurses every day. This is a job role that  takes patience, kindness and empathy. As some of you may know, I could only carry out my walks for 3 of the 4 weeks of October. This was due to my dad being hospitalised and my mum needing myself and my daughter to stay with her overnight when she was at her most disorientated and not understanding where her husband was or recognising the house she has lived in for 27 years.  Even with her condition she remains the kindest and most caring person I have ever known, if you so much as mention a cup of tea or coffee she’ll be making it!
I wanted to do this walk for her. My friends, my son, my husband and my sister all joined me for the walks that have made up 75+ miles. All with their own stories, inspirations  and experiences of this horrible disease and we have raised nearly £400 for dementia Uk. 
Thank you so much for everyone who donated, cheered us on and walked with me. 
Goal met!
