In January 2020, my mother passed away after battling with Dementia.

It was disheartening to observe the life a woman who was always the life and soul of every party and conversation deteriorate. My mother was well loved by many, including total strangers she easily made friends with. Dementia stole from us and many other families who've seen the lives of loved ones shrink away daily to this dreadful condition .

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.

**Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline.

** £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.

Whatever you can afford to give would be greatly appreciated and would impact the lives of many.

Thank you and God bless
