5KM a Day for Dementia: Raising Awareness, One Step at a Time

This November I’m taking part in the 5km A Day Your Way challenge with Dementia Australia.

Each day in November I’ll be completing a 5km run daily. 

Every kilometre I complete and every dollar raised helps support the 446,500 Australians living with dementia and the 1.7 million who care for them.

Having had a family member affected by dementia, I understand the impact it can have. As someone entering the teaching profession, I also recognise the importance of raising awareness among younger generations and helping them better understand dementia and its impact on individuals and families, particularly as the number of Australians living with dementia continues to grow.
