Visit memorywalk.org.uk today and help us raise over £650,000. All the money raised through Memory Walks is used to support people living with dementia in the local area.![]()
Last year (2008) 1,000 people registered online and we are hoping for more than double this year.
There are currently almost 70 walks and we expect to have 120 featured by the end of June.
Thanks to the support of Simplyhealth, Memory Walk is able to help more people through the vital funds it raises.
One of last year's Memory Walkers, Clare from Rochdale, said,
'The Memory Walk was a wonderful way of helping me feel I could do something. By walking in my dad's name, I have hopefully helped others get the same support I got all those years ago.'
Jo Swinhoe, Director of Fundraising and Marketing said,'Memory Walk is the Alzheimer's Society's flagship fundraising event, and is the mass participation event for people living with dementia in the UK.Visit memorywalk.org.uk and get involved in Memory Walk 2009 this September.
With over 18,000 walkers expected at Memory Walks this September, its going to be our biggest year yet and the Memory Walk website is a great way to find out more and to register for your local walk. So please visit memorywalk.org.uk today and help fight dementia every step of the way.'
