Simone's Summer Steps for Dementia

I'm raising funds for people with dementia!

Simone/s Summer Steps for Dementia This January, I'm committing to walking 150 kilometres during our summer beach holiday to raise funds and awareness for Dementia Australia.

Dementia is a cruel and heartbreaking disease. It doesn't just affect memory, it slowly changes personality, independence, and the relationships we hold closest. Watching someone you love fade in small but noticeable ways is something I wouldn't wish on anyone. 

A very special loved one was recently diagnosed with dementia, and seeing her change before my eyes has been confronting, emotional, and incredibly hard. It's a reminder of just how devastating this disease is, not only for those living with it, but for the families and carers who walk alongside them every day.

Dementia Australia is the national peak body supporting people living with dementia, their families and carers. They provide education, practical support services, advocacy, and fund vital research, helping Australians navigate diagnosis, care, and life with dementia while working towards a future without it. One in three Australians will be impacted by dementia in their lifetime, whether as someone living with the condition or as a carer or loved one. This is a disease that touches almost every family.

Every dollar raised will go directly to Dementia Australia to support their essential work. All donations over $2 are tax deductible.

Thank you for supporting Simone's Summer Steps for Dementia. Your generosity means more than you know, and every step I take is for those living with dementia and the people who love them.
