Nottingham Care Home Wellbeing Coordinator Takes On 100k A Month Running Challenge For Dementia UK

A Wellbeing Coordinator who works at HC-One’s Springwater Lodge Care Home in Calverton, Nottingham, is taking on an extraordinary 100k running challenge throughout the month of February to raise funds for Dementia UK.

Dace Peacock, Wellbeing Coordinator chose to take on the 100k a month challenge for Dementia UK as it’s a cause very close to her heart. Dace’s commitment to the cause is driven by her personal connection to dementia and her transformative experience from working within a care home. Dace’s commitment to the challenge comes from her profound connection to dementia.

Dace Peacock, Wellbeing Coordinator at HC-One’s Springwater Lodge Care Home, said:
“Working at a care home has profoundly transformed my perspective on dementia. Whilst I’ve read numerous studies on the subject, they often focus on cellular aspects and overlook the human side of the condition.

“Experiencing it firsthand and correlating that with scientific research, it’s become painfully clear that we still don’t have a cure. Dementia is a condition that demands extensive research, and every single penny we raise translates into valuable knowledge and support. Together we can make a difference.”

Having witnessed the effects of dementia both professionally and personally, Dace is dedicated to raising funds to support Dementia UK’s vital work.

Dace is aiming to raise £250 for the charity, which will contribute to ongoing research and essential support services for families and individuals affected by dementia. She will be completing her 100k challenge on the 28th February outside Springwater Lodge Care Home, and invites everyone to join her in supporting this worthy cause.
