Two years ago, my lovely mum was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Since then, we’ve slowly watch it take hold and change her. It's not only been a struggle for mum but for all the family as we all learn to cope with this devasting and life changing disease.

By taking on this 26 mile trek, Nick and I are hoping to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society in the hope that with their research, they can work to make life better for people affected by dementia and to create a future where dementia no longer devastates lives.

And, given it's such a long walk, we might even change the habit of a lifetime and take a rucksack with water and snacks this time !

Thank you for your support, it is very much appreciated
