Walking for Mum - Dementia Action Week!

Please help me raise money for Dementia Australia. The support that Dementia Australia gave me and my family over a 12-year period was incredible. 

My beautiful mum died in 2022 after losing the battle with younger onset dementia. I am raising funds to help continue Dementia Australia's important work support the families of, and people living with Dementia.

You can help by making a donation to support my efforts and help me reach my goal to beat dementia. I am pledging to walk 10,000 steps/day starting in Dementia Action Week, for a month.

Mum used to walk 7km or more everyday (roughly 10,000 steps / walk)... she was fit, healthy, hardworking and the most caring of mums that anyone could ask for. Mum died at 64 years young. I miss her so much.

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.

Younger Onset Dementia

Wednesday 20th Sep
Since dementia is not as common in working-age people, it can often go unnoticed. But recognising the signs and symptoms and getting support sooner can drastically improve your quality of life. If you suspect you or someone you love has younger onset dementia, Dementia Australia is here for you. Learn more about younger onset dementia and the support available to you on our website.

Thank you all for your support

Day 1 and I have just raised my target from $500 to $1,000 because of all your support. Thank you. How fabulous that we can raise these funds for such a great cause together. It means the world to me.
See attached photo from the first ever walk I did for mum when she was diagnosed. She is holding the sign at the front, surrounded by friends and family.
