I'm taking part in the Walk 31 Miles in May challenge to support families facing dementia.

Having known and seen how this cruel illness affects all, seeing friends and families distraught.. this is a very small effort by me, but hopefully a huge help to others.

Your donation, big or small, makes a real difference.

Just £8 can cover the telephone costs for two families seeking support through Dementia UK's free Helpline.

£33 could fund a new dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour helping a family in the community, offering practical solutions and emotional support to cope with their loved one’s behaviour.

Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nurse charity. Our nurses, called Admiral Nurses, provide life-changing care to families affected by all forms of dementia, including Alzheimers disease. They help people with dementia stay independent for longer, and support the people caring for them so they have the strength to cope with the bad days, and the energy to enjoy the good days. They have the time to listen and the knowledge to solve problems, helping families take back control when they are struggling.

please if you can help in any way, even if just a pound, it all helps

Thank you & much love
