We are taking on the Trek 26 challenge of walking 26 miles through London to raise money for Alzheimer’s and Dementia — a condition that affects not only those diagnosed, but also their families and friends.

As a family we know only too well how devastating dementia can be. Jane (Mam a mamgu annwyl) was diagnosed almost 8 years ago with vascular dementia and we have slowly watched her memory, independence and personality diminish. We also walk in memory of Beti Gu who also suffered from this terrible illness.

Running a small family business in a busy rural village we also know so many families, colleagues and friends that have been affected in some way by dementia which makes our fundraising efforts even more meaningful.

Dementia is something that touches so many lives. It slowly takes away memories, independence, and the little things that make someone who they are. Watching a loved one change in this way is heartbreaking, and the impact is felt long before a diagnosis and long after.

By pushing ourselves physically on this walk, we want to raise awareness and vital funds to support research, care, and support services for people living with dementia and those who care for them every day.

Every mile we walk is for someone affected.

Every donation, no matter how small, helps make a difference.

Thank you so much for your support — it truly means more than we can say.
