On Thursday 25th June I will be taking part in the Midsummer Walk. This is a 20km walk around Loughborough, raising money for an incredible cause, Dementia UK.

Did you know that one in two of us will be affected by dementia? That's such a devastating statistic but the amazing work that Dementia UK do helps families affected by this condition. Dementia UK is a charity that depends on donations to ensure their much needed work can continue, including supporting family members directly who are suffering with Dementia and also supporting wider families and networks.

Dementia UK don't just support Dementia patients and families, they also support much needed research into new ways of diagnosing and treating dementia.

£30 - could help pay for one person living with dementia to receive an hour of invaluable practical support from a specialist dementia nurse
£50 - could help fund a specialist dementia Helpline nurse for two hours in the evening, supporting carers in crisis when other services are closed
£75 - could pay for three families to attend a virtual clinic sessions with a specialist dementia nurse so that they can better support the person they care for

Any donation, no matter what the amount, truly makes such a difference so if you are able to, please do support this amazing cause.

By supporting this walk, you’re helping to fund that vital care, ensuring more families don’t have to face dementia alone.

A massive thank you for your support!
