Why take part in Memory Walk?

One in three people born today will develop dementia in their lifetime. Participants are encouraged to walk for those they love, those they have lost and everyone currently living with dementia.

Alzheimer’s Society provides help and hope for around one million people living with dementia in the UK, including more than 66,000 people across Yorkshire. With a suggested fundraising target of £175 per person, every pound raised supports vital services and funds dementia research.
