Join thousands of supporters who are taking part in the October Dog Walking Challenge to help to support families facing dementia. Commit to this challenge by walking 100km's (or your chosen distance) in October with your furry best friend. Set up your fundraising page by clicking the orange button which says 'Start fundraising'.

Share your link with friends and family along with photos and videos of you doing the challenge. When they see the progress you're making, the donations will start to flow and you'll be making a real difference to families facing dementia as you build up those miles.

We are Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nurse charity. Our nurses, called Admiral Nurses, who we continually support and develop, provide life-changing care for families affected by all forms of dementia - including Alzheimers disease. When you support our charity, you're helping us grow the number of specialist dementia nurses, giving more people affected by dementia the life-changing care that they need.

We help people living with dementia stay independent for longer and support the people caring for them. We help to give them the strength to cope with the bad days, and the energy to enjoy the good days.

With your help, no one will have to face dementia alone.
