I’m raising funds for a cause close to my heart and would love your support!

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 or more a day.

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.

This November I’ll be walking in honour of my beautiful Granny Tucker, a beloved mother, grandma and great grandmother. 💗

Watching dementia slowly take hold of someone you love is heartbreaking. Seeing the changes it brings, the memories that fade and the person you know and love being affected by this cruel disease is a reality that my family and I have had to face. It‘s incredible difficult to watch, and it’s a reminder of just how much dementia takes from not only the person living with it, but also the people who love and care for them.

I’m walking for Carmel Tucker, for our family and for everyone affected by dementia, in the hope that one day we can make a difference. ❤️💐
