Walkwyse is a not-for-profit company raising money for Alzheimer's Research UK via walking activities

Walkwyse is an outdoor activity webapp providing GPS guided rambles & mazes for enjoyment and in aid of Alzheimer's Research UK, running on any mobile device (as well as on a PC or Mac). The webapp was developed during Covid lockdowns by Lin & Peter Horne and followed Lin's devastating diagnosis of Alzheimer's in 2019. One of the things Lin enjoys most is walking, as does Peter, so it made sense to create a fun and interesting outside activity web app for families. The initial focus was on nature & history trails in the countryside but has been developed into a fun and slightly crazy virtual maze trails (aMazing trails) located in public parks across the UK. Enjoy one or more of the 250 fun aMazing trails and if you can, donate to Alzheimer's Research. Or participate in the multi-year long virtual Ramble Across Europe walking challenge. Walkwyse.com is owned by Walkwyse Ltd a not-for-profit company controlled by Peter & Lin Horne.

It's with great regret that I have had to cancel the Endure for a Cure event for this year, due to a sudden and very unexpected hospitalisation of myself. This hospitalisation was due to a problem with my kidneys, bladder & prostate and was unrelated to my long distance walking.

Once I am fully recovered I will see whether it is possible to run the event during the first half of 2027.

I would like to give a massive thanks to all of you who have supported the team & I by donating to Alzheimer's Research UK, we have raised over £13,000 so far.

Last Saturday I completed a walk of 28Km from Totnes to Buckfastleigh and back again, this section of the Endure for a Cure trail follows the beautiful river Dart. It took me 6.1 hours, including a 15-minute lunch break! One of the easier sections of the Endure for a Cure Ultra-marathon with an altitude gain of only 572 meters, and a lot of shaded woodland - great in the hot weather!

I’m taking on this challenge to raise money for Alzheimer's Research UK a charity working to find a cure for dementia through life-changing research. So far, the teams’s raised an amazing £10,786 — but I’d love to go even further. If you’re able to support, please consider donating or sharing this fundraiser. Every contribution, big or small, helps bring us one step closer to a cure.

Currently, 1 in 14 people over 65 in the UK are living with Alzheimer’s.

It’s a disease that is rapidly increasing, one that steals memories, independence, and the lives of those who develop it.

We’re partnered with Alzheimer’s Research UK to help fund the breakthrough science that could one day stop this disease in its tracks. Their work supports families affected every day and drives the research needed to protect future generations.

With your support, we can take meaningful steps toward a world where Alzheimer’s no longer takes away the people we love.
Together, we can help more people keep their memories, independence, and confidence.

With the Ultra‑Marathon fast approaching, we wanted to share a glimpse of the stunning landscapes that await along the route. 🌄

This challenge is about far more than endurance. It’s about pushing ourselves for a purpose, to help find a cure for Alzheimer’s disease, a condition that continues to affect countless individuals and their families.

Your support so far has been nothing short of incredible. Thanks to your generosity, we’ve already raised an amazing amount for Alzheimer's Research UK, and we’re deeply grateful.

But the race isn’t over. If you’ve been affected by Alzheimer’s, or know someone who has, we invite you to donate today and help us continue the fight.

Let’s endure for a cure. ⬇️

Last Saturday I completed a walk of 51.3Km from Dartmouth to Totnes and back again, this section of the Endure for a Cure trail follows the beautiful river Dart. It took me 11.8 exhausting hours, including a 30-minute lunch break! Another challenging walk with an altitude gain of 1,663 meters, and a scorching hot day, but at least there was more shade available than on the Southwest coast path last week. As I hope you all know by now, I am driven by one goal: helping fund vital dementia research.

To check my body’s recovery ability, on the Sunday morning I completed a 9.3km walk, starting at 6am. I haven’t had time to attempt a 50km and a 45km on two contiguous days yet but believe I am now fit enough to do this, but it will be certainly very hard if we have 4 days of hot weather for the Endure-for-a-Cure event at the end of August.

I've included a photo of Lin & I near the Avon Dam on Dartmoor where we visited last Friday, She really enjoys going out for a short walk in her wheelchair, despite her stage 7 dementia.
