61-year-old Harriet Thomas recently completed an amazing journey, the D-Tour, walking from Lands End to John O’Groats to raise funds for the Dementia Adventure Support Fund. This fund provides life-enhancing supported holidays for people living with dementia and their carers. Help Harriet reach her fundraising target by donating here.
Many people fear that receiving a dementia diagnosis will bring an end to holidays but research shows that being outside in the natural world can help reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, agitation and improve communication, sleeping and eating patterns. Dementia Adventure holidays offer respite, reconnection, and hope, allowing families to enjoy nature and outdoor adventures together. They are more than just holidays—they are a chance for families.
Harriet produced a series of podcasts along the way, sponsored by Macs Adventure, sharing the sights and sounds of the British countryside beneath her feet and engaging in fascinating conversations with people she meets during her journey, including dementia experts and the occasional celebrity!
