Day 4 - Make up day

Thursday 5th Nov Made up and extra KM tonight to ensure I'm covering off all the KM'S missed. 6kms added to the total. Was a magical evening by the bay  Share

Day 3 - Stormy Weather

Thursday 5th Nov This afternoon saw massive thunderstorms hit the regions where I live so wasn't able to go out for my normal walk as planned. Managed to do a few kms during the day and have planned to make up the extra k's in the next couple of days.... Share

Day 2 - Afternoon walkies

Monday 2nd Nov Missy and Pebbles lead the way for a late afternoon recovery walk. Not going to lie, after yesterdays stack, I've pulled up pretty sore. Spending time by the ocean and going for a gentle walk was just what was needed. 5.31kms to add to the tally.  Share

The 'Why' behind taking up this challenge

Sunday 1st Nov

I'm Felicity — an AIN, End-of-Life Doula, Funeral Celebrant, Funeral Director and, above all, a daughter.

Today, and every day, I have the privilege of walking alongside families and carers, supporting those living with and dying from Dementia. Through my professional roles and personal experiences, I don't just hear the stories; I have witnessed first hand the heartbreak, challenges, love and profound sadness that can come with caring for someone diagnosed with one of the many forms of Dementia.

I am a passionate advocate within my community, committed to giving a voice to those affected by Dementia, raising awareness and helping families feel seen, heard and supported through some of life's most difficult journeys.

This is why I have taken up the challenge to raise vital funds and awareness around dementia and its devastating impact on individuals, families, carers and our wider community.

Dementia is a significant cause of death in Australia, and its place among the nation's leading causes of death highlights the urgent need for greater awareness, understanding, research and support.

I am taking this challenge not just as a professional, but as a daughter, an advocate and someone who has seen first hand why this matters. 

Follow my Challenge Journey. Thank you everyone for getting behind me and supporting my own personal experiences. You can support by donating today. 

Together, we can raise awareness, make a difference and help ensure that no family has to navigate the journey of Dementia feeling alone.
