I'm walking 50 Miles in January for Dementia UK
My beautiful mum has been suffering from this cruel disease for many years and I’ve had to witness the slow and heartbreaking decline as she’s lost every part of herself. She’s taken some of me with her and I will never get over the pain of losing my mum over and over again, little bit by little bit. I’ve come to accept that I can’t change it, but if I can help towards another family going through it then I will feel a sense of accomplishment. I’m also on a personal fitness journey from lazy fat b*stard to fully fledged health guru, or at least somewhere in between! So, 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!

50 Miles Done!
Saturday 24th Jan 50 miles plus a few more done! Going to aim to add another 50% and get to 75 miles total before the end of the month. Getting out for a coastal walk tomorrow 😊 Share
Just keep stepping, just keep stepping
Monday 19th Jan Woah I’ve slowed down a lot! Life got in the way so I’ve only been averaging 1-2 miles a day and I’m missing longer scenic walks. Looking forward to getting back out there this weekend to up the mileage. Saying that, I’ve done over 40 miles already so well on track. Share
Over half way!
Thursday 8th Jan Day 7 and end of the first week. I’ve already done almost 30 miles and dare I say I’m enjoying it! Having a rest tomorrow and then planning to clock a few more miles before I’m back to work.
