If you like what we are doing and want to support the Dementia Adventure Support Fund please donate

Dementia Adventure has been at the forefront of providing fully supported, small group short breaks for people living with dementia and their carers for 15 years. Our supported breaks offer more than just respite; they provide meaningful, purpose-driven experiences that significantly enhance the quality of life for both people living with dementia and their caregivers.

The best thing is that for every £1 you donate, Dementia Adventure will be able to double the donation due to the ongoing support from players of the People's Postcode Lottery.

Harriet is on the edge of Wales as much of her journey this week takes place along the historic Offa's Dyke Path.

She's focussing on the power of storytelling and our own personal stories. The memories we're making and the ones we reflect on.

You'll hear how postcards and artifacts are being used trigger memories and there's a stop at a care home in Shropshire for a singalong with actress Sian Reeves.

You can listen to Harriet's playlist on Spotify. Each week she's adding songs to match her mood on her epic walk!

Three weeks into her 900 mile adventure and food is a hot topic for Harriet. It's something she's been talking about a lot. Eating breakfast, skipping evening meals and the daily search for her morning coffee.

She examines how important food is for our physical and mental wellbeing and hears from chefs Adam Purnell (@shropshire.lad) and Cris Cohen (@FeastedUK) about how food is a multisensory experience offering love and a connection to ourselves.

It's also Harriet's birthday this week so expect celebrations

Harriet's D Tour continues as she completes the last few days of her Cornish adventure and heads towards Devon.

Harriet is taking on the 900 mile walk from Land's End to John O'Groats on her own, but she's making friends along the way. We'll hear how these new connections as well as established friendships are helping her.

We'll also hear from Deb Bunt and Peter Berry who became friends after a chance meeting in a cycle shop and how their friendship has lead to them writing a book "The Slow Puncture" about Peter's life with Dementia. Becoming a published author was one of Deb's life long dreams.

And we'll also discover how animals and pets can be essential companions too, as Tamsin and Anthony from Collacott Farm share how horses teach humans how to live in the present.
