Join us at Illawarra's Lang Park

Illawarra Dementia Australia’s Memory Walk & Jog is coming, and this year’s it’s going to be huge!

On Sunday, February 21, 2027, Illawarra will come alive with locals honouring their loved ones and raising funds to support nearly half a million Australians living with dementia and the 1.7m who care for them.

Who will you honour this year?

Almost everyone knows someone touched by dementia. The Memory Walk & Jog is a wonderful way to honour them, whether you walk, jog, run or wheel.

Come for a stroll in the sun with family and friends, a dress-up jog with the dog or a serious fitness challenge for a personal best. Whatever your motivation, we’ve got a course for you.

It’s easy to get started: just register below, pick your course, set up your page and get fundraising! We’ll support you all the way.

So let’s do it, Illawarra! Click the link, get your shoes on and we’ll see you at Lang Park, working together for dementia support, change and prevention.

Did you know?

In New South Wales, there are around 145,700 people living with dementia. Your fundraising efforts will help Dementia Australia keep providing them the trusted information, advice and support they need, when they need it most.

Physical exercise is good for your brain! Research shows that getting exercise is an important factor in reducing your risk of developing dementia. So hit the MW&J course and protect your precious brain!

Research is changing how we think about dementia. In the last few years there’s been a flood of new research teaching us how to reduce our risk of dementia and exploring innovative new treatments. With the funds you raise, Dementia Australia will fund game-changing Australian dementia research.
