Team Sue

In honour of Sue, we will be raising awareness and funds for dementia.

On 7 November 2025, we lost our beloved Sue after four challenging years living with dementia. She was only 58. To honour her life and raise awareness, we’ll be taking part in a series of fundraising initiatives from now through to May 2026.

In December 2025, Sue’s son, Michael, will be running 58km to honour the 58 precious years we had with her.

In early 2026, we’ll also be directing a portion of the income from our small businesses in Geelong to Dementia Australia (more details to come).

On Sunday, 3 May, we’ll be joining the Geelong Memory Walk & Jog to show our love for Sue and support the vital work of Dementia Australia. We’d love you to join us; feel free to sign up as part of Team Sue.

Did you know…

• Dementia can be diagnosed as early as your 30s.

• Younger-onset dementia often leads to rapid deterioration and a profound impact on life.

• Dementia is the #1 cause of death for women in Australia.

• It is the #2 cause of death for all Australians.

• The need for awareness, support, and funding has never been more urgent.

We’d love your help.
A donation of any size to Team Sue will help fund essential services such as counselling, support groups, education, and vital research.

Together, we can make a meaningful difference. Your support truly means the world to us.

Thank you for anything you can give.


Love from Sue's family and friends xx
