Alzheimer’s Australia Memory Walk & Jog

We’re joining the race against Dementia

The Alzheimer’s Australia Memory Walk and Jog is getting ready to launch for another season to help to raise much-needed funds in the battle to help fight Dementia. Memory Walk and Jog fund-raiser events have and will be happening all around Australia.

We’re very proud to join the ranks of people such as Ita Buttrose, actress Doris Younane, Hawthorn footballer Sam Mitchell and many other fellow Australians coming together to raise awareness and help in the fight against Alzheimer’s.

We’ll be at the Canberra ACT Memory Walk & Jog on Sunday, 17 September 2017 – please come along and join us at this fun day out for a very important cause. Grab a friend, a partner, bring the kids, and even the dog! Maybe you could organise a team with some workmates, friends or family!

The really great thing about the Memory Walk & Jog is that it’s perfect for all ages and levels of fitness. There are several walking and running options, including a 1 kilometre leisurely walk, a 5 kilometre walk, and a running race of 7kms!

If you’re not able to make it on the day, never fear – you can still donate to this worthy cause at the official Memory Walk & Jog fundraising website here!

Lets all band together to take part in the Memory Walk and Jog, raise funds and help to make Dementia a distant memory!
