Wallasey Care Home Worker Completes Sponsored Walk To Raise Money For Dementia UK

As part of World Alzheimer’s Month, Michelle Johnston from HC-One’s Leighton Court Care Home, in Wallasey, Wirral, is walking 30 miles to raise money for Dementia UK. Michelle has so far raised £166 for Dementia UK.

Throughout September, which is known globally as World Alzheimer’s Month, Care Assistant Michelle Johnston has been braving the unpredictable North West weather and completed a sponsored walk to raise money for Dementia UK.

The aim is to walk 30 miles throughout the month. Michelle took on this challenge last year also in aid of the charity Cat Protection.

This year is extra special as Leighton Court opened its dementia community in April, where Michelle is a very friendly and familiar face to residents and families at the residential, nursing and nursing dementia care home.

Michelle Johnston, Care Assistant at Leighton Court Care Home, remarked:
“I am feeling so happy that I have raised money to help people living with dementia and to help support their families. I want to thank everybody who has sponsored me.”

Marie Keating, Home Manager at Leighton Court care home, commented:
“We are all so proud of Michelle for giving up her free time to raise money for a charity very close to our hearts. “A huge well done Michelle!”
