I'm taking on Fans vs Dementia
During the course of 90 minutes, 30 people in the UK will develop dementia.
I’m taking on Fans vs Dementia and raising funds so that families affected by dementia get the specialist help and advice they need. I would be grateful for your support.
£19 could pay for the telephone costs of five families calling our free Helpline whenever they need support.
£33 could fund an hour with a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse, helping a family with practical solutions and emotional support.
Thank you!

Walking from Peterlee to the Stadium of Light
Sunday 21st SepIn a few weeks me and my cousin will be taking on a long but exciting challenge, walking from Peterlee to the Stadium of Light in Sunderland. The journey is around 12.5–13 miles, and at a steady pace it should take me about five hours to complete.
For me, it’s more than just a walk. It’s a chance to enjoy the scenery, clear my head, and push myself with the distance. I’ll be following the roads and paths that link Peterlee to Sunderland, heading north through familiar landscapes before finally arriving at the iconic home of Sunderland AFC.
There’s also a personal reason behind this walk. Six years ago, I lost my great nanna to dementia. Watching her fade because of that illness was incredibly hard for my family, and it’s something that has stayed with me ever since. As I take each step, I’ll be thinking of her and of the many families who are affected by dementia every single day.
The Stadium of Light is a place full of energy and atmosphere, and finishing my walk there will make every mile worthwhile. Whether it’s about fitness, fresh air, or honouring the memory of my great nanna, this challenge is something I’ve been looking forward to.
Five hours on foot might sound like a long time, but with good music, determination, and the Stadium of Light as my destination, I know it’ll be worth every single step.
