Winter Reading Challenge

Help me reach my goal of £500

I'm doing Winter Reading Challenge for Dementia UK

This winter, I'm reading 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!

My Updates

Book Number 2

Tuesday 3rd Nov
Book 2 - Never Enough by Pete Wicks. Following on from my first read, and very much keeping on theme, I thought I'd delve into this Sunday Times Best Seller. I'm slowly getting back into reading, it is one of my favourite past times. My Nan loves a good read, maybe that's where I got my love of books from.

Life gets a bit busy!

Wednesday 28th Oct
Book One: Staying Relevant The Book - Sam Thomspon & Pete Wicks. Pages read 280 of 399. 
Well, it's been a busy few days with work & a hospital appointment (fun times!).  Hopefully, will be able to finish my first book tonight & get started on my next book, which I think will be Pete Wicks' Never Enough ... Do we sense a theme here? 
After my hospital appointment I popped in to spend some time with my Nan & we reminisced about my Grandad, who she was married to for over 70 years! I told her about this fundraising challenge & she kindly donated, even though she regularly donates to Dementia UK. 
As it's Wednesday it's time for a new podcast episode from Sam & Pete, which I will watch before I get stuck back into their book. 
Thank you for the support of those around me & the donations I have received so far.

Day One Update

Sunday 25th Oct
Book One: Staying Relevant The Book - Sam Thomspon & Pete Wicks. Pages read 246 of 399. Why this book? I adore Sam Thompson, he is such a loveable public figure. So, I started watching his & Pete Wicks' podcast, Staying Relevant, on YouTube last year & it has got me through so rough times. So, when I found out they had a book, I had to get it & I'm finally getting around to reading it.

Why am I taking part in this challenge?

Sunday 25th Oct
In December 2024 I lost my Grandad. He was my whole world & losing him meant losing a part of me.
Dementia took the last 18+ months of his life & everyday leading to his passing felt like I was losing him daily, grieving daily. 
Dementia is an awful disease, if we can help in finding a cure, or some relief, I know personally that it would mean the world to those who have been diagnosed & their loved ones.
Unfortunately, I cannot run, nor walk far, so this Winter Reading Challenge is my way of fundraising.
If you can donate, no matter how big or small, I would be extremely grateful.
Thank you 🫶🏻
