Walking Together: Every Step Against Dementia

Every step tells a story of care, connection, and hope.

At Pinky Promise SMA (Sharing Memories Altogether), we walk alongside individuals and families navigating the daily realities of dementia. We believe that no one should ever have to face this journey alone. Our community group provides a vital, safe haven offering companionship, respite, and genuine understanding when it matters most.

To keep these life-changing doors open, we have set an ambitious fundraising target of £2,000 To reach it, we have teamed up with the incredible North Solihull Striders for an epic challenge: a virtual walk the entire length of Britain, from John O’Groats to Land’s End.

A Vital Breathing Space for Carers

Caring for someone with dementia is an act of profound, unending love, but it can also be physically and emotionally exhausting. That is why this collaboration means so much more than just miles on a map.

By joining forces with the North Solihull Striders, we are creating wonderful, uplifting opportunities to support the incredible family members and carers behind the scenes. This partnership helps provide carers with a much-needed break—a precious chance to step away, reset, and recharge their batteries. Along the way, it offers a welcoming space to meet new people who truly understand, share experiences, and stay active to look after their own health, fitness, and well-being.

Best of all, the journey doesn't stop when we reach our Pinky Promise SMA fundraising goals! Long after this virtual trek is complete, carers and community members are warmly encouraged to keep attending North Solihull Striders sessions to continue nurturing their ongoing fitness, health, and friendships for the long term.

A Warm Welcome Awaits You

We also want everyone to know that anyone living with dementia is warmly welcomed to attend the Pinky Promise SMA Dementia Group once the virtual walk is completed. Our doors, hearts, and minds are always open, offering a safe, inclusive space where everyone can find companionship, share memories, and feel truly valued.

The Journey Ahead

Over the next six weeks, our combined community footprints will cover hundreds of miles—symbolizing the resilience, determination, and unity of everyone affected by dementia. Whether supporters are walking a mile in their local park, stepping up their daily routine, or cheering us on from the sidelines, every single stride brings us closer to our goal.
