Participants prepare for Illawarra Memory Walk & Jog
The 2019 Illawarra Memory Walk & Jog is only a hop, skip and jump away, with the event taking place in just three weeks’ time, on Sunday 3 March at Stuart Park, George Hanley Drive, North Wollongong.
Memory Walk & Jog raises much-needed funds to support the work of Dementia Australia, which provides invaluable support, education and resources for people living with dementia in Australia, their carers, families and friends.
This year, participants can choose to take part in a 2km, 6.5km or 7.5km walk, jog or run and are invited to help reach the national $1.5million fundraising target. All funds raised will benefit Dementia Australia services in Illawarra.
There will be prizes for the top fundraisers, as well as raffles, plenty of entertainment for the whole family, food stalls and a special guest appearance from Memory Walk & Jog mascot, Al the Elephant.
Registrations are now open for all Memory Walk & Jog events across Australia. Register today for Dementia Australia’s biggest fundraiser of the year at www.memorywalk.com.au.
