Walking for My Yiayias – Supporting the Fight Against Dementia

On Sunday, 15 March, I’m taking part in Adelaide’s Memory Walk & Jog to raise funds to support Australians impacted by dementia. This is a cause incredibly close to my heart, and I would truly love your support.

I’m doing this in honour of both my Yiayia Maria and my Yiayia Dina, who both suffered from dementia. Watching the impact this disease had on them and our family was heartbreaking, and it’s something that has stayed with me. Taking part in this walk is my way of honouring their memory and helping other families who are going through the same journey.

Please consider making a donation to support my efforts and help us reach our goal to beat dementia.

Not many people know that dementia is Australia’s leading cause of death. By 2058, it’s expected that over 800,000 Australians will be living with dementia. But together, we can help change this.

All money I raise will support the work of Dementia Australia and help provide vital support services like counselling, support groups, education, and research to work towards a cure.

Together, we can make a real difference. Your donation would truly mean the world to me.

Thank you so much for your support 🤍
