Sheila's Squad: Brisbane Memory Walk & Jog
In honour of our beautiful Grandma Sheila, our family is participating in the Memory Walk & Jog in Ballarat on Saturday 2 May and Brisbane on Sunday 14 June to support Australians impacted by dementia. This is a cause close to our hearts and we would love your support.
In 2025, Sheila's Squad raised over $4,600. This year, our team has expanded and we are hoping to beat our goal of raising $5,000.
Did you know that 1.7 million carers, family members and friends are involved in the care of someone living with dementia in Australia? By 2058, it's expected that over 800,000 Australians will have dementia.
If you have the capacity and would like to support, please consider sharing this post or making a donation via the link below. Alternatively, if you’d like to join Sheila's Squad and walk or jog 2.5km, 5km or 10km, we'd love you to join us on the day.
All money raised will support the work of Dementia Australia and help provide vital support services like counselling, support groups, education, and research to help find a cure.
Together we can achieve a lot. Your donation would mean the world to us.
Thank you for your support 💛
