I watched my lovely Nana, Audrey Wells, slowly slip away because of dementia. She was the sweetest lady who loved nothing more then having a great day out. Even when she was in her 80's she could still walk a fair few miles especially when fish and chips or an ice cream were involved. Nana encouraged me to become a care worker and I am privileged to be able to help others living with dementia. 

Now I am being inspired by another lovely lady, also in her 80's and living with dementia, who can walk 13 miles without breaking a sweat. When I mentioned I was thinking of doing this 26 mile challenge she said "Well you've got no excuse really. You're half my age" So there you have it I am going to do it and I would be very grateful for any donation no matter how small because I've seen first hand how dementia affects the people living with it, their families, friends and carers and I hope one day we can live in a world without it.
