...and I'm off!

Yesterday was the first day of the Impossible Walk Jog, raising funds for much needed research into causes, education and awareness of dementia. This is a cause incredibly close to my heart, as I watch my dad struggle with this terrible disease each and every day. There is currently no cure. So despite being incredibly unfit and being a person not known for her love of exercise, I am putting in the effort. Let's face it, it's the least I can do. Off to a moderate start... 3km walked at a steady pace on the treadmill. It was a big day of appointments and I was battling a migraine, but I still hit my baseline goal. 3km down... 40km to go!

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.

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.

Thank you for your support.
