This May, I'm walking 31 miles and raising funds to help ensure no family faces dementia alone.

As a Consultant Care of the Elderly doctor I meet these patients and their families on a daily basis. Whilst I may be able to get them through the acute illness, the family are the ones who have to continue to live through the mental burden of gradually losing their loved ones..

There is no doubt that more help and support from charities such as Dementia UK can make a massive difference.

The charity funds a team of specialist Dementia nurses who are available and accessible on a free Helpline.

Any donation big or small will help massively.

For example, just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline.

Thank you so much
