Save Brains

My Mother Ruth passed away last week. She was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Dementia 20years ago after showing signs of increasing memory loss over the previous 10yrs. She was 87 years old when she passed essentially this disease took her away from living a normal life for the last 30years! She was a well educated woman who loved working with children and her favourite pass time was sport and reading. I am passionate about following a lifestyle that can help prevent cognitive decline. I am doing this walk/run to support those looking for a cure. I have recently taken up running so I am aiming to run 44kms! Your sponsorship is much appreciated! 

I'm making the impossible, possible, by taking part in Australia's Walk & Jog Challenge to raise much needed funds for dementia research.

I’m taking part in Australia's Walk & Jog Challenge by committing to raise much needed funds to support people impacted by dementia.

My Mum Ruth recently passed away after battling with Alzheimers  Dementia for over 20 years.

But I need your help! Please make a donation to support my efforts and help me to make the impossible, possible.

My fundraising will help support the work of Dementia Australia Research Foundation, funding innovative Australian research into dementia causes, diagnosis, treatment and one day a cure.

It is already proven that exercise can help prevention of dementia, so let’s walk! 

Thank you for your support.
