Where does my money go?
The money raised goes to the Dementia Adventure Support Fund. This fund provides life-enhancing supported breaks for people living with dementia and their carers. These breaks 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 to find peace, joy, and purpose during challenging times.

It’s more than just a walk—it’s also a podcast, a fundraiser, and a movement to support people living with dementia.

Most importantly, it’s about community—ensuring that no one feels alone in their journey. Join us and be part of this amazing journey!
The D Tour is proudly sponsored by Macs Adventure. Macs Adventure specialise in self-guided walking and cycling holidays for independent, active people who don’t want to be part of the crowd or restricted by set dates and schedules.

Why did Harriet take on this challenge?
Harriet Thomas, a passionate hiker at 60, has walked 900 miles from Land’s End to John O’Groats to raise £25,000 for the Dementia Adventure Support Fund.
This mission was deeply personal—her mum lived with dementia for nine years. Even in her mum’s final years, they shared precious moments of connection and joy in the garden, surrounded by nature. Inspired by these experiences, Harriet wants to help other families find peace, joy, and inspiration through Dementia Adventure’s supported breaks.
Every mile of Harriet’s journey represented 1,000 people in the UK living with dementia. Every step was meaningful and shone recognition on the challenges this condition can bring and the importance of the right support. Community is crucial—no one should feel alone with this condition. After all, with the right support, we believe that anything is possible. Life shouldn’t end with a dementia diagnosis.
