Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In April, I’m going on a big walk for my mum.

I’m planning on walking the 84 mile Hadrian’s Wall to raise money for Dementia UK.

My mum is the toughest woman I’ve ever known who has selflessly devoted her life to being the best mother and wife a family could ever wish for.

To witness her battle with dementia has been heartbreaking for us all. It’s a brutal condition that has a massive impact on the person affected and places a huge strain on their family.

There’s never a good day. Just bad days and better days and I hope this can help more families in the future have more better days.

I thought I’d take on a walking challenge to raise a little bit of money and hopefully do my mum proud.

I really appreciate you taking the time to read this - that in itself is raising awareness into this awful condition. Thank you.
