Memory Walk & Jog is heading to the Gold Coast!
What started as one event has grown into a movement across Australia, and in six weeks, Memory Walk & Jog will take place on the Gold Coast!
Dementia Australia’s largest fundraising event is heading back to the Gold Coast after a great event last year with walkers, runners and joggers setting off on Sunday, June 2, at Pratten Park, Broadbeach.
Last year, more than 10,000 people walked, jogged and ran in cities and towns across Australia for people impacted by dementia.
This year we’re hoping to go even bigger and want more people to sign up and assist us in raising more than $2 million, which will help fund invaluable support, education and resources for people living with dementia in Australia, their families and carers.
There are more than 421,000 people of all ages living with dementia in Australia. Without a medical breakthrough, the number of people living with dementia is expected to increase to more than 812,500 by 2054.
Dementia is the second leading cause of death in Australia and the leading cause of death for women. Memory Walk & Jog play an important role not only in funding support but also in raising awareness of dementia.
Sign up to walk, jog or run, or join in as a Volunteer, at a Memory Walk & Jog event at www.memorywalk.com.au. Share your Memory Walk & Jog experience on your social media, and Donate today to support people living with dementia across Australia.
If you can’t attend an event, why not organise your own group or individual walk or jog, with a My Way event. Choose your own date and location and register at www.memorywalk.com.au/get-involved/mw.
