Trekking for a Cause: Nic and Darrel's 26-Mile Journey Across the Northumberland Coast for Alzheimer’s Society

In a world that often moves too fast, where moments slip through our fingers like grains of sand, two incredible individuals—Nic and Darrel—are doing their part to slow things down. Together, they’ve embarked on a remarkable journey, trekking 26 miles across the stunning Northumberland coast, all to raise vital funds and awareness for a cause that’s close to their hearts: the Alzheimer’s Society.

The journey is no small feat. The rugged coastline, dramatic cliffs, and sweeping vistas of Northumberland provide a beautiful backdrop to what will be a grueling, emotional challenge.

Alzheimer's disease touches millions of lives, robbing individuals of their memories, their sense of self, and the connection they share with their loved ones. That’s why Nic and Darrel have chosen to support Alzheimer’s Society, Blueleaf’s charity of the year, with this epic fundraising trek.

The trek will take them from the iconic Bamburgh Castle all the way to the historic town of Alnwick, passing through miles of coastal paths, picturesque villages, and unspoiled beaches. Each step they take will symbolise their commitment to supporting those affected by Alzheimer’s, as well as the tireless work of the Alzheimer’s Society in providing care, support, and funding for crucial research.

Every pound raised will go towards supporting families living with dementia, funding research into new treatments, and ensuring that no one faces the journey alone.

Nic and Darrel’s 26-mile challenge is proof that we can all take steps, no matter how small, to create a world that is more compassionate and understanding for those living with Alzheimer’s and dementia.

If you’d like to support their incredible journey, you can donate to their Just Giving fundraising page. No contribution is too small, and every penny counts toward creating a brighter future for those affected by dementia.

Together, we can make a lasting impact—one step at a time.

Let’s walk alongside Nic and Darrel as they make strides for a better tomorrow, helping to raise awareness and funds for Alzheimer’s Society.
