Dementia UK October Dog Walk Challenge - Progress Report

 Well there is no point in having a plan (and a spreadsheet !) if you don't measure and report progress.

The challenge started on 1st October, which was a Saturday. Statement of the obvious - there are 31 days in October

While I have good control over the resources (me, Bella), I don't have control over the Scottish weather or the decreasing day length at this time of year ! And there is a risk that either myself or Bella get injured or ill.

We hit 50km on the second Friday
We hit 75km on the third Friday

So we're on (actually slightly ahead of) target, and have built up some contingency for things going wrong in the remaining 9 days.

But this wasn't just about the challenge and the walking.... it was also about raising awareness and funds.

I've posted on social media about the challenge and about Dementia, both from a work and non-work point of view.

We've raised some sponsorship - it's always hard to ask, so I've just been including the link in posts. And while every little helps, it would be nice to get some more.

So we have more to do, on every front, in the remaining time.
