I'm taking on the 5km a Day Your Way challenge for Dementia Australia this November.

Currently, it is estimated that more than 421,000 Australians are living with dementia. Without a medical breakthrough, the number of people with dementia is expected to increase to more than 812,500 by 2058.

Your contribution will make a world of difference for people impacted by dementia, every donation big or small counts!

Thank you so much for your support.

Walking for Dad

Sunday 13th Oct
Hey everyone 

This November I will be walking 5km a day to help fundraise for Dementia Australia. 
In 2020 My dad was diagnosed with a rare brain condition called Auto Immune Encephalitis which is where his immune system started attacking his brain this had a a massive impact on his brain and he did not know who he was for a long time let alone anyone around him. He forgot so much, dad went through brain rehabilitation and had to learn alot again, after a while he regained some memories and started improving. 
Moving back to Bordertown after being in Adelaide while he was sick well that was a bit of a struggle but he really did make some improvements both physically and mentally. 
Then Moving on 4 years later in February this year 2024 he was diagnosed with dementia this really hit hard as he has already struggled so much with his other sickness but now he has been hit again with something worse and no cure right now. I struggle every dad watching dad change so I want to keep making memories with my dad and if I can do anything to help dad and anyone now or in the future that is living in the same situation  it would make me so happy.
I have set  a goal of $1000 so if you would like to help me in achieving this amount it would be greatly appreciated at the end of the day every dollar counts so you don't need to make a huge donation and if you can't even just sharing this around will help just as much.

Thank you 🙏 

💕I love you Dad..This is for you 💕
