I'm raising funds for people with dementia!
Here at Estia Health Tea Gardens we hold a daily walking group to help with our resident's mobility. We walk 60,000 steps a month. We have a number of resident's participate including those with walkers, those in wheelchairs and those with Dementia.
We are setting ourselves a challenge for September and aim to walk 80,000 steps as a team to raise funds during Dementia awareness month.
We hope to get as many Resident's and Staff to participate as possible and possibly exceed our goal!
We would like your help! Please make a donation to support our efforts and help us reach our goal to beat dementia.
All funds raised will support the work of Dementia Australia to provide vital support services for people living with dementia, their families and carers. These services include counselling, support groups, education and training.
Thank you for your support.

Friday 18th Sep The end of another great week with our walk. The easing of some of our restrictions has meant we can now walk into the grange and walk a lot further. The resident's are getting a lot of enjoyment out of this. They are also liking their new shirts and hats donated by Dementia Australia, they look great!!! The longer distance has meant that this week we have been able to do a total of 96,321 steps. We have more than exceeded our goal with a total of 148,361 steps walked. We are going to keep going though and see how many steps we can do as every step counts!!! Share
