Every step I take on this 26-mile trek through the breathtaking Black Mountains is for a cause that matters deeply — helping create a world where dementia no longer steals memories, independence, and connection.

The Alzheimer’s Society is leading the way, offering vital support to those living with dementia today while driving groundbreaking research and campaigning for a future free from its devastation.

This challenge isn’t just a walk — it’s a test of endurance and heart. With 1,473 metres (4,832 feet) of elevation, it’s a journey through rugged beauty, symbolising the uphill battle and resiliance faced by so many families every day.

Take a moment to explore the gallery and see the Black Mountains through the seasons — a reminder of nature’s strength and renewal.

Your donation, no matter the size, helps turn compassion into action. Together, we can bring help and hope to everyone affected by dementia — one step, one mile, one breakthrough at a time.
