The Brighton Times follows Judy Benjamin’s journey through Sussex as she continues her approximately 550-mile walk from Land’s End to London.

Judy described how she carefully tracks each stage of the route, typically walking between 10 and 14 miles a day with support from her videographer and support vehicle. She also shared why she undertook the walk: to offer hope by telling her own story of cognitive decline and significant improvement.

The article highlights Judy’s time in Brighton, including a visit to Brighton Palace Pier, before she continued toward Lewes, Eastbourne, Hastings, and Rye. It also discusses the Alzheimer’s Survivors Foundation and Judy’s goal of educating people about approaches to cognitive health.

The Carer recently featured Judy’s visit to Linden House, a dementia care home in Lymington, in the article, “Lymington Care Home Welcomes Walker With A Difference.” Judy spent time with residents, relatives, and staff during her approximately 550-mile walk from Land’s End to London. The visit gave Judy an opportunity to pause along the route, share tea and conversation, and speak personally about living with an Alzheimer’s diagnosis.

Judy discussed the changes she made to support her cognitive health after being diagnosed at age 67 and explained why she now works to encourage earlier conversations about brain health, prevention, and intervention. Her message drew particular meaning from the setting, where residents and their families have direct experience with dementia and its effects.

The article includes warm reflections from the Linden House community. Home Manager Priya Joseph described Judy’s talk as powerful and moving, while residents and family members spoke about the value of hearing directly from someone who continues to live actively many years after diagnosis. Judy thanked the residents, families, and staff for their welcome and for their willingness to take part in an open and personal conversation.

The visit was one stop on Judy’s journey across southern England to raise awareness of brain health and support the mission of the Alzheimer’s Survivors Foundation. It follows her 2025 walk across the United States and continues her effort to share practical encouragement and hope with people affected by cognitive decline.

While making her way through Southampton on her approximately 550-mile walk from Land’s End to London, Dr. Judy Benjamin stopped by Voice FM for an interview on Your Green Breakfast with host Xan Phillips.

Judy spoke about the differences between walking across England and her 2,812-mile journey across the United States last year, from narrow country lanes and hedgerows to the challenges of walking in extreme heat.

The conversation soon turned to the reason behind her journey. Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s 15 years ago, Judy described how she responded by learning more about factors that could be affecting her cognitive health and making significant changes to her lifestyle.

She discussed the importance she places on sleep, exercise, nutrition and understanding individual health factors through appropriate testing. Judy also shared how her thinking and ability to participate in conversations improved after she began addressing her health. She was careful to distinguish that experience from claiming a cure, telling the programme that she describes herself as having “eliminated the symptoms of Alzheimer’s.”

The Argus recently featured Dr. Judy Benjamin and her approximately 550-mile walk from Land’s End to London, highlighting her journey as she makes her way through Sussex.

Diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at 67, Judy made significant changes to her lifestyle and became an advocate for a personalized approach to cognitive health. Now 82, she is walking across England to share what she has learned and encourage more conversations about prevention, early intervention and brain health.

“This walk is about showing people that there is hope,” Judy told The Argus. She emphasized the role that nutrition, sleep, movement, stress reduction and identifying contributors to cognitive decline can play in supporting cognitive health.

Judy began her journey at Land’s End on August 1 and will continue east through Sussex and Kent before completing the walk in London.

The Tavistock Times Gazette recently caught up with Judy Benjamin as her approximately 550-mile walk from Land’s End to London brought her through Tavistock, sharing the story behind her journey and why she is walking across the UK at age 82.

Judy was diagnosed with early Alzheimer’s at 67 after watching her mother live with the disease for two decades. She went on to become one of the earliest patients of Alzheimer’s researcher Dr. Dale Bredesen, addressing factors contributing to her cognitive decline and making changes that would ultimately transform the direction of her life.

Reporter Guy Boswell spoke with Judy while she was in Tavistock about that experience and how it eventually led to Judy Walks the World. They talked about her Alzheimer’s diagnosis, the steps she has taken to support her cognitive health, and her decision to undertake another long-distance walk to help raise awareness about Alzheimer’s prevention.

Judy also shared how walking across the UK follows her 2025 trek across America, when she covered 2,812 miles from San Diego, California, to St. Augustine, Florida. They discussed what keeps her moving forward, what she hopes people will learn from her experience, and why she believes her story can help change the way people think about Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive health.

Read the full article in the Tavistock Times Gazette to learn more about their conversation and Judy’s time in Tavistock. Note: While the article references a goal of 650 miles to London, the actual mileage for the walk overall will be approximately 550 miles.

Judy Benjamin joined neurologist and Alzheimer’s researcher Dr. Dale Bredesen for a live conversation about the experiences that transformed the course of her life. Judy reflected on developing cognitive symptoms similar to those she had witnessed in her mother and four uncles, receiving an Alzheimer’s diagnosis at 67, and meeting Dr. Bredesen at a time when she desperately needed a reason to believe that her future was not already written.

Judy and Dr. Bredesen discussed the personalised changes she made involving nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress reduction, and other contributors to cognitive health. More than a decade later, Judy continues to share what she learned through extraordinary walking challenges. After completing a 2,812-mile journey across the United States, she is now walking from Land’s End to London to raise awareness, connect with communities, and offer hope to people and families affected by cognitive decline.

Bridport Radio recently featured Judy Benjamin’s extraordinary journey in an article titled “Judy Walks the World”. The article shares Judy’s recovery from early Alzheimer’s disease and her mission to raise awareness that cognitive decline may be preventable and, in some cases, reversible through a personalised, precision-medicine approach.

In the feature, Judy shares how Alzheimer’s affected her mother and four uncles, the fear she experienced after receiving her own diagnosis, and the chance meeting with neurologist Dr. Dale Bredesen that changed the course of her life. She explains how personalised changes involving nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress reduction, and identifying contributors to cognitive decline helped her regain her health and inspired her approximately 550-mile walk from Land’s End to London.

Dr. Judy Benjamin joins Kirkland Newman on The MindHealth360 Show for an in-depth conversation about the journey that ultimately led her to walk across two countries for Alzheimer’s awareness.

Judy recounts the fear she experienced after developing cognitive symptoms similar to those she had witnessed in her mother and other family members. She discusses becoming Dr. Dale Bredesen’s first human patient to follow the approach that later became the ReCODE Protocol and the long-term commitment she has made to supporting her cognitive and overall health.

The conversation also explores why Judy decided to walk across America at 81 and what she learned from the people she met along the way. Again and again, strangers shared their own experiences with Alzheimer’s and dementia, encounters that reinforced her determination to keep the conversation going.

Now 82, Judy is carrying that message across the UK as she walks from Land’s End to London, continuing her effort to raise awareness, encourage earlier action, and offer hope to people confronting cognitive decline.
