Angela’s journey for Alzheimer’s Society
My name is Angela, I am 69 years old - and I want to make a difference whilst I still can. About 15 years ago, my husband took early retirement. He then went to work with a local Alzheimer's group. Since then I have had a lot of aquaintances and friends that I found have the symptoms of Alzheimers, which has really touched me. I have noticed how rife it has become.
It is sad to see that the body is functioning perfectly, but the brain no longer is, and I wish to help those families - to support them and put money to research.
I felt that I want to do something substantial. To make a difference.
Please support me for my walk around Great Britain. I had aimed to walk most of Great Britain starting in 2020 but because of Covid 19, this has been delayed until this year. Although while waiting, I managed to make a start in July 2021 for a few months. I also raised funds by collecting in supermarkets, selling food and various other fundraising events.
March 2022 I have restarted my trek in South Wales. In April I will be walking on the Isle of Wight as a friend will be providing support, I will then return to walking in Wales prior to heading north to Scotland.
I aim to walk around 10 miles per day, and will try to accomplish this through hard work and a lot of time and dedication. This is my challenge, and I want to achieve as much of this as I can.
If you would like to walk with me for part of my journey, please get in touch with me. My mobile is 07701301144.
I will be walking approximately 2,500 miles
Please support me in my mission. There are various ways you can support me,
1. by donating through Just Giving. (see above)

3. By assisting me along the route. ( ie. overnight stays etc.) I have a campervan, if you are able to offer a parking space please contact me
