On November 3rd 2025, a dedicated group of students from Bath University took on an incredible international challenge; a 100km cross-border walk from France to the Netherlands, raising vital funds for ReMind UK. To date the team have raised £800, which is a fantastic achievement.
Starting in Dunkirk, the team travelled along the Belgian coast before finishing in Cadzand, Netherlands. For every £10 raised, they committed to walking an extra kilometre on top of the original 100km, turning fundraising into real, meaningful miles.
Other members of the group will also be getting involved closer to home by taking part in the Bath Half Marathon on 15 March 2026, adding to fundraising efforts already achieved.
This challenge is especially close to the team’s hearts. One member recently lost her grandad to dementia and shared why supporting ReMind UK means so much:
My grandad was a loving husband, father and an inspiration to me. Even when he forgot where I went to university or how old I was, he never forgot how to laugh, smile, or love. Every week, he found joy and comfort at a dementia centre, where he could socialise, bond with others, take part in activities, and keep his brain stimulated. That centre gave us all something to look forward to. Support like that can make a world of difference to people like him, living with dementia. ReMind UK helps make similar opportunities possible for others like him, while also funding vital research to understand better."
ReMind UK provides valuable support to people affected by dementia and their families, while also leading internationally recognised research to improve diagnosis, care and treatment.
More than 55 million people worldwide are currently living with dementia, a number expected to triple by 2050. Every donation, no matter the size, helps ReMind UK continue supporting people today and funding the research that will shape the future.
Thank you for your support in helping ReMind UK get ahead of dementia. Together, we can make a real difference for people living with dementia.

As we welcome 2026, it’s the perfect time to think about small changes that can make a big difference to our long-term health. One of the most powerful ways to protect your brain and reduce your risk of dementia is also one of the simplest: moving more. This month, we’re taking a closer look at how physical activity supports brain health and why even small increases in your daily movement can have a meaningful impact.
