Vicky & Milo 🐾

🐾 Day 28 – Nearly There!

We can’t quite believe it, but we’re now on Day 28 of our 75-Mile October Challenge for Dementia UK - just three days left to go! 🐾💜

Milo and I want to say a huge thank you to everyone who has donated, shared our posts, or cheered us on from near and far -  your kindness really has kept us going through every muddy mile and rainy morning. 💛

Collectively, all our fellow walkers (and their wonderful pups!) have helped raise an astounding £171,019.08 so far - that’s enough to fund the national Dementia Helpline for more than two weeks! 📞💙

If every participant was able to raise just £35 more, together we could fund three new Admiral Nurses to work on the Helpline for an entire year - offering hope, comfort, and guidance to families in desperate need of support. 💜

It hasn’t all been smooth sailing -  we’ve battled soggy walks, blustery winds, and even the dreaded lurgy! 🌧️🤧 But through it all, we’ve loved being part of something so uplifting - a community full of wagging tails, muddy paws, and shared purpose. 🐶💪

We’re proud to have been part of this challenge and so grateful for every message, donation, and word of encouragement along the way. Here’s to the final few miles! 🐾💛

Day 4-11 - Sticks, Zoomies & Grateful Hearts

We are just over a week into our 75-mile October Challenge for Dementia UK, and what a wonderful week it’s been.

Milo and the family are so grateful for every single donation and message of support we’ve received so far 💜  - it truly means the world.  The weather has been kind to us, with a few lovely warm, autumnal walks full of orange leaves and sunshine… perfect for muddy paws and stick collecting. 

Milo has, of course, kept up his signature mad zoomies, but has now added “expert stick collector” to his list of skills 🌲😆

A big thank you to The Kings Head in Cubbington for kindly letting us put up a poster -  Milo is one of their furry regulars and loves popping in to say hello 🐶🍻

We’ve even had a generous donation all the way from Australia - from a lovely lady who follows Milo and also his birth mum and dad on social media.  The kindness and encouragement from near and far has honestly been so heart-warming 💛

We are now up to around 36 miles — and that’s just from our morning walks.  We’ll be making sure to start tracking the rest too so every pawstep counts 🐾

Two people have also kindly handed me cash donations, which I’ve added directly to the fundraising page on their behalf — every contribution, big or small, really does make a difference to families affected by dementia.

Thank you again to everyone who’s supported us so far - we are having so much fun along the way, and we are determined to make every mile matter 💜

Days 1-3 Catchup 💙

Sorry for the delay in updating you.  We’ve been busy getting those first walks done and are now at 12.5 miles so far (the days miles get added to my page the following day) 🐾

 Milo’s not a fan of the rain, so we head into the woods -  we go there when it’s hot to stay cool, and we go there when it’s wet to try and stay dry. 😆

There’s already been plenty of muddy rolling and mad zoomies (clearly Milo’s favourite part of the challenge 😅).

 Thank you so much to everyone who’s supported us so far — every donation and message means the world 💙 I will keep posting updates as we go (and hopefully share some of the silly videos).
