I’m raising funds for people with dementia!

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 5km a day, however I wish.

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

I am running in honour of my late grandpa, Ron Rose. I have seen firsthand the impact dementia can have, not only on the person living with it, but on their family and the people who love them. This is a cause that means a lot to me, and I hope that by taking on this challenge, I can help raise awareness and support for those affected by dementia.

My Story

Monday 2nd Nov
I am participating in this running challenge in honour of my late Pa, Ron Rose, whose life was impacted by dementia. Having witnessed first-hand the effects of dementia, I understand that its impact extends far beyond the individual diagnosed affecting their family, friends and loved ones as well. Seeing someone you care about experience the challenges associated with dementia has given me a deeper apprectiation of the importance of raising awareness, supporting affected families and contributing towards research to improve the lives of those living with the condition. 

This challenge is particularly meaningful to me as it provides an opportunity to honour Pa Rose's memory while supporting a cause that it is close to my heart. I hope that by taking part, I can help raise awareness, encourgae others to get involved and coontribure to making a difference for the many Australians and families affected by dementia.
