The 2024 Sydney Memory Walk & Jog is upon us, with the much-anticipated event taking place this weekend on Sunday 19 May at Leichhardt Oval #3, Lilyfield.
Starting at 7.30am we welcome everyone in Sydney to join fellow participants as they walk, jog or run to help raise money in support of people living with dementia.
Registrations for the Sydney Memory Walk & Jog are still open and we would love to see as many people as possible participate to help raise funds and awareness for such an important cause.
Walk or jog with us. We are in this together.
Sign-up to walk, jog or run or join in as a Volunteer at a Memory Walk & Jog event at www.memorywalk.com.au. Share your Memory Walk & Jog experience on your socials and Donate today to support people living with dementia across Australia.
Can’t attend this weekend? Organise your own group or individual walk or jog, with a My Way event. Choose your own date and location and register at www.memorywalk.com.au/get-involved/mw.
