Walk 50 Miles in January 2026

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!

Monday 2nd Feb
In January I set myself a challenge to walk 50 miles for Dementia… not really knowing where it would take me, emotionally or physically.

Despite working full time and facing the unpredictable January weather, I’m so proud (and a little emotional) to say I have walked 86 miles. I also hoped to raise £100, but thanks to the incredible generosity of so many people, that turned into an unbelievable £600 for this amazing charity.

Every single mile was walked with my mum at the forefront of my mind. She is my reason for doing this. Watching her battle this cruel disease with such strength, grace and dignity is both heartbreaking and inspiring beyond words. She is certainly one very strong lady and I’m proud to be her daughter. 

Thank you doesn’t feel like a big enough word, but thank you to everyone who donated, walked alongside me, checked in, and encouraged me. Your support truly means more than you will ever know.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you. I’ll keep walking into February — for my health and always for my mum. ❤️💕

50 Mile Target Hit - Day 17

Saturday 17th Jan
Day 17
I’m really pleased to say today I’ve hit my target of 50 miles walked in January for Dementia. 

While I’m proud to have reached the goal, I’m not stopping here — I’ll be continuing to walk every day and seeing just how many miles I can rack up by the end of the month.

I’m doing this challenge for my lovely mum, who is currently in a nursing home bravely battling frontotemporal dementia. She’s my motivation every single step of the way.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me, walked some of the miles with me, encouraged me, and donated — it truly means more than I can put into words. Your kindness and support have kept me going ❤️

Here’s to the next miles…

2 weeks in

Wednesday 14th Jan
I am two weeks into the challenge and managed to walk every day. A total of 43.5 miles so far and I will continue to the end of the month. 
Thank you to everyone who has walked with me, I’ve enjoyed your company and our chats. A big thank you to everyone who has kindly donated to this great cause. I cannot thank you enough. It means the world and you’ve made it possible for me to smash the amount I wanted to raise. ❤️

Ready to go on 1st January.

Monday 29th Dec
I’m ready to take on the challenge of walking 50 miles this January for Dementia 💝

I’m doing this for my lovely mum, who is living and battling with dementia. It’s absolutely heartbreaking to see her go through this, and I’m hoping to raise some money to help support this incredible charity and the work they do.

My goal is not just to reach 50 miles, but to smash it and hopefully exceed my fundraising target too.

Wishing everyone the very best of luck who’s taking part in the challenge this January. Together, I hope we can really make a difference 🤍
