Pauline Quirke's son completes 140km trek for Alzheimer's research
Charlie Quirke, son of actor Pauline Quirke, completed a 140km (87-mile) fundraising trek for Alzheimer's research on Friday, 12 December 2025.
His mother, Pauline Quirke, known for 'Birds Of A Feather', was diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2021, which led to her retirement from acting.
Charlie's trek involved retracing his mother's footsteps to significant places from her life, culminating at his parents' home in Buckinghamshire for Christmas.
He successfully raised £176,000 for Alzheimer's Research UK.
The charity highlighted the significance of his efforts, stating that every step taken brings them closer to a cure.
