Dementia is real

Dementia is a part of my family. My pop died from it and my mum has it. It’s a disease that not many people really know unless they have friends or family around them that have it. It is a confusing disease that leaves the person who has it, not being able to engage in simple tasks.  My mum loved to play board games and cards with her grand children. It was their thing when the kids visited nans house. Mum is now in a home and doesn’t know how to play games nor have a real conversation. I am walking for my Mum but mostly to those who can help research and find ways to help diminish this horrible disease. Please if you can donate that would be great. Thankyou 🥰

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.
