💜 DAY 3 – ALBANIAN ALPS TREK 🏔️
Another incredible day for our amazing Dementia Jersey trekkers as they explored the spectacular Theth Valley.
The route took the team along narrow paths, steep cliffs and through breathtaking Alpine meadows, covering 14.46km, with 956m of ascent reaching an elevation of 1,609m.
Along the way, the team enjoyed a well-earned packed lunch in some incredible surroundings, accompanied by a few unexpected visitors.
Once back in the village, the adventure didn’t stop there! Some of the guys took a refreshing dip in a natural pool before enjoying a zip line taking in those mega mountain views!
We’re so proud of our incredible trekkers for continuing to push themselves, take on new challenges and raise vital funds for Dementia Jersey.

💜 DAY 2 – ALBANIAN ALPS TREK 🏔️

The team trekked from Valbona to Theth, tackling an impressive 695m of ascent and a challenging 1,103m descent, reaching 1,840m elevation.
The scenery was incredible, but it was certainly another tough day on the trails – and our trekkers absolutely smashed it!
It was our lovely trekker Sue’s birthday! 🎈🥳 The team made sure she didn’t miss out on a birthday celebration, serenading her several times along the mountain, and our DA guide Matty and local guide Kush helped organise a birthday cake for the evening.

We are incredibly grateful to Every Child Our Future for helping us provide a selection of books to schools across Jersey. The collection includes stories exploring memory loss, family relationships and the impact dementia can have on people`s lives.
Dementia can affect the whole family, including children and young people. Having books that we can share with schools and recommend to families is a really valuable way of helping children understand dementia in a language that feels accessible and reassuring. Stories can create a starting point for children to talk about their experiences, ask questions and express how they are feeling. We hope these books will encourage those conversations and help children feel more confident in understanding dementia and the changes it can bring.
A donation from the Lions Club of Jersey Swimarathon to Every Child our Future made production of the books possible.
