Nick Hindmarsh, a Rotarian from River Dart, completed a 177 km charity walk through various locations including Dartmoor and Buckfast Abbey to raise over £1,000 for Alzheimer’s Research UK. The trek was inspired by the impact of Dartmouth Caring’s Memory Café.

Subsequent reports indicate that Hindmarsh was joined in these fundraising efforts by former postman Robert Shearwood, who completed a 175 km route across South Devon. These walks were prompted by the postponement of the ‘Endure for a Cure’ challenge, which has been delayed until 2027. The broader campaign aims to raise £50,000 for Alzheimer's Research UK and the Dartmouth Caring Memory Café, with approximately £15,000 raised to date.
