Hiker Harriet Thomas is walking 900 miles from Land’s End to John O’Groats for Dementia Adventure under the banner of ‘The D Tour’.
Harriet has been inspired to do The D Tour following her mum’s nine years with dementia.
The D Tour website says:
“It’s more than just a walk—it’s also a podcast, a fundraiser, and a movement to support people living with dementia. The ‘D’ stands for dementia, a detour from everyday life, the vitamin D from the outdoors, and a new way of thinking about dementia. Most importantly, it’s about community—ensuring that no one feels alone in their journey.”
Episode 1 of The D Tour podcast went live on 9 August and new episodes will be released every Friday. Each episode will feature a different guest sharing their personal experiences with dementia.
