Trek26 Hadrian's Wall - 26 miles · 1 April 2020 ·

Retrace ancient Roman paths as you conquer Hadrian's Wall, one of England's most historical landmarks. Trek for loved ones, and raise money so together we can find a cure.

Story

I'm treking 26 miles along Hadrian's wall for a cause very close to my heart.

1 in 3 people will eventually have a dementia. Working in mental health and training to be a nurse I have met some incredible people living with this devasting disease. I have had the remarkable privilege of working with the Forget me Not Centre providing a space for anybody affected by a dementia. These wonderful people go walking, go for lunches and provide a space to be heard and and be creative, enabling the person to carry on doing things and carry on with their independence as long as possible. This beautiful space also enables the carer some time for themselves to have some valuable time for respite so they can carry on caring.

Services like this are very few and far between and by raising funds I hope to enable services like these to continue their work. Hopefully one day we can find a cure so we dont have to watch the horrible disease take away our loved ones and watch as they slowly disappear and forget the life they had.

I would be so grateful if you could spare anything to donate, I'm not the best at long distance walking, and being on the shorter side it may take me a little longer than most, but I'm determined!!!!!
