Help me raise money in honour of my Mum, Lorna and the 421,000 Australians living with dementia.
On Sunday, 23 February, I'm taking part in Canberra's Memory Walk & Jog to raise funds to support Australians impacted by dementia. This is a cause close to my heart and I would love your support.
Please make a donation to support my efforts and help us reach our goal to beat dementia.
Not many people know, but dementia is Australia's second-leading cause of death. By 2058 it's expected that over 800,000 Australians will have dementia. But we can 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 help find a cure.
Together we can achieve a lot. Your donation would mean the world to me.
Thanks for your support!

I'm only $92.71 away from becoming a Silver Level Fundraiser. Will you help get me there?
My Updates
Thank you!
I have increased my Fundraising Target, as friends and family have donated towards my walk. I am very grateful, as most of you would know that I have a elderly parent with Dementia and my work colleague who is walking with me, has a parent who was recently diagnosed with dementia. This is a disease that can be both a fast or slow deterioration, and a awful and sad time to watch those who we love, go through the process of uncertainty confusion and their lost of independence.Thank you to my sponsors
