Walk For A Cure - Peak District

Can you help Rachael to hit their goal of £250? 🧡

Dear Friends, Family, and Supporters,

I am proud to share that on 12th September 2026, I will be taking part in a 42km Alzheimer’s Walk to raise funds and awareness for those living with dementia. 

This cause is incredibly close to my heart. I am walking for the past, present, and future residents of Beech Court Care Home—for the stories they’ve lived, the memories they hold, and the dignity and joy they deserve every single day. 

Every step of this 42km challenge represents: 

  • Respect for those who have lived with dementia 

  • Support for those currently on their journey 

  • Hope for future generations and better care, research, and understanding 

Alzheimer’s affects not only individuals but their families, carers, and communities. By supporting this walk, you are helping to fund vital services, research, memory support, and improved quality of life for people living with dementia. 

How You Can Help 

I would be incredibly grateful for any support you can give—big or small. Your donation will directly contribute to improving dementia care and supporting those whose lives are touched by this condition.

Training update 🧡🥾

Monday 10th Aug
The training continues! 💪 Over the last few weeks I’ve completed two 20km hikes, along with several smaller 7km walks Some days have been harder than others, but every step is bringing me closer to the Alzheimer’s Hikes in September. 🚶‍♀️💜 26 miles is still a HUGE challenge, but I’m determined to keep putting one foot in front of the other — for those living with dementia, their families, and everyone affected by this cruel disease. 💜 Thank you for all your support. 🦋

A Huge thank you .xx

Monday 3rd Aug
💜A huge thank you💜 I just wanted to say a heartfeltthank youto everyone who has already donated to support me in theMemory Walk. Your kindness, encouragement and generosity really do mean so much to me. ❤️ As many of you know, I'm also training for another challenge – the42km Walk for a Cure on 12th September. Over the last couple of days my training walks have reached16km and 20.85km, and every step reminds me why I'm doing this. Please don't feel you need to donate again.You've already supported me, and I'm incredibly grateful. 💜 Instead, if you would be willing to share the QR code to the Alzhiemers fund rasing page , I'd be so thankful. By sharing it with your own friends and family, it may reach someone who would like to support the cause and help fund vital dementia research and support. Every share is just as valuable as a donation because it helps spread awareness. Thank you for believing in me, cheering me on, and helping make a difference for everyone affected by dementia. Together, one step at a time, we can make a difference. 🦋💜 #WalkForACure #42kmChallenge #MemoryWalk #DementiaAwareness #ThankYou
