I'm walking 30 Miles in September for Dementia UK
This is Doreen. She was in a care home for about 7 years, and we visited her whenever we could (about 100 miles away). She enjoyed seeing people, even when she didn’t know who they were any more. We got her used to taking selfies, and made sure we had pictures of our visits.
She passed away in 2023, and we still talk about her often.
So, this September, I'm walking 30 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!

Ready to go!
Sunday 30th Aug Well it’s nearly September and I’m ready to start my walk. It’s not just for Doreen, but for all who suffer from dementia and all their loved ones who are affected by the disease. The money raised should help alleviate some of the suffering, but there’s always more to be done.Thank you to my Sponsors
