We're doing the Adelaide Memory Walk & Jog to raise funds for our Dad Chris & in memory of our Mum Bev & the 433,300 Australian's living with dementia.
On Sunday, 15 March, we’ll be joining the Adelaide Memory Walk & Jog to show our love and help Dementia Australia.
And we need your support!
This will be our 6th time doing the Memory Walk in 2026. This year we are walking in support of our Dad who was diagnosed with dementia in early 2025 and our beautiful Mum, who lost her battle with dementia in June 2025.
While we are still grieving the passing of Mum, we have begun the journey with Dad who is now also battling the hideous beast that is dementia.
Dementia took EVERYTHING from our Mum Bev. She was a loving, bright, caring, smart and funny lady. She was a wife, mother, nanna, great- nanna, auntie & best friend. And now sadly we have to watch it happen to Dad as well. Our Dad Chris is a strong, loving, kind, proud and clever man. He was an adoring husband and he loved our Mum for nearly 60 years (and still does). He is not only a father but a grandy, great-grandy, uncle and dear friend.
Dementia is an unrelenting and cruel disease and you would not wish it upon any one. It slowly takes your loved one away from you, in every possible way and it is painful to watch. All of who they are and who you knew them to be, fades away in front of your eyes- and it leaves you feeling completely helpless.
It can happen to anyone: your Mum, your Dad, your Husband/Wife, your Partner, Grandma, Grandpa, Sister or Brother, your Best Friend and sadly even your Child...
So, this is why we are walking once again-and we hope that one day, no-one will have to fight the fight that is Dementia. xo
Did you know that 1.7 million carers, family members and friends are involved in the care of someone living with dementia in Australia. That's why we're hoping to raise as much money as possible. We'll be walking, jogging, and running to stop dementia in its tracks.
We'd love you to join us on the day, but if you can't, a generous donation will help provide vital services like counselling, support groups, education, and research to find a cure.
Together we can achieve a lot. That's why your donation will mean the world to us.
We're all grateful for any amount you can give.
