My name is Cameron Nicholls, and I am cycling from London to Paris to raise money for Dementia UK, a charity dedicated to supporting families affected by dementia.

This challenge is more than just a physical journey; it is a mission to help provide specialist care, guidance, and reassurance to families who are facing one of life’s most difficult and emotional challenges. Dementia doesn’t just affect the individual diagnosed, it impacts entire families, often leaving them feeling overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure where to turn for help.

Dementia UK provides life-changing support through their specialist Admiral Nurses, who offer expert one-to-one advice, emotional support, and practical guidance to families navigating dementia. Their work ensures that no one has to face dementia alone.

Your donation can make a real, tangible difference:

£4 could cover the cost of a family calling the free Helpline to receive essential expert support during a difficult moment.

£10 could help 10 families learn more about dementia, understand symptoms, and begin the process of getting a diagnosis for a loved one.

£25 could fund an hour of one-to-one support from a specialist Admiral Nurse, providing personalised care and guidance to families who need it most.

£50+ can help expand vital services so more families across the UK can access professional dementia support when they need it.

Why this ride matters:
Every mile I cycle represents the thousands of families who are currently living with the emotional, financial, and mental strain of dementia. With an ageing population, the demand for dementia support is growing rapidly, and charities like Dementia UK are more important than ever.

By supporting this journey, you are not just sponsoring a bike ride, you are helping:

Families feel less alone during a frightening diagnosis

Caregivers access professional guidance and coping strategies

Loved ones receive compassionate, specialist care

Raise awareness about dementia and the support available

Training for this challenge requires dedication, resilience, and determination, but it is nothing compared to the daily challenges faced by families living with dementia. That perspective is what keeps me pedaling.

Your support means the world, not just to me, but to the thousands of families who rely on Dementia UK’s services every single day. Whether you donate, share, or simply spread awareness, you are helping make this journey truly count.

Thank you for your generosity, encouragement, and support. Cameron Nicholls
