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

Do you have family or friends who have developed dementia or Alzheimer's? Every 3 minutes someone in the UK develops dementia. Today, there are 944,000 people living with dementia that need your help so that they can receive follow-up support from Dementia UK's Admiral Nurses. Please consider donating today and join us in making a lasting impact. Thank you for your kindness and generosity.

Your donation, big or small, makes a 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.
