Walking for Eric and Chris

We're raising funds for people with dementia!

Walking for the Memories They Gave Us

Our dads, Eric and Chris, have always been so much more than fathers. They are the men who taught us life's lessons, shared their stories, made us laugh, supported us through challenges, and helped shape the people we are today.

This year, our family experienced a heartbreaking loss when Eric passed away in July. Dementia had already taken so much from him, but it could never take away the love, strength, kindness, and countless memories he gave to those who knew him.

Today, Chris continues his own journey with dementia, reminding us every day how devastating this disease can be, not only for those living with it but also for the families who walk beside them.

In honour of our dads, we are committing to walking 5 kilometres every day in November, and raising funds for Dementia Australia. Every step we take is for Eric and Chris. Every step is for the families who are facing the heartbreak, challenges and uncertainty that dementia brings.

We walk for the memories of family holidays, conversations around the dinner table, words of wisdom, laughter, and all those ordinary moments that become priceless over time.

Dementia may change memories, but it can never erase the love we hold for our dads.

If you are able to support us with a donation or by sharing our page, we would be deeply grateful. Together, we can help fund research, support services, education and advocacy for the hundreds of thousands of Australians impacted by dementia.

For Eric. For Chris. For every family. For every memory. 💙

"Those we love never truly leave us. They live on in the stories we tell, the lessons they taught, and the memories we carry in our hearts every day."

Thank you.
