Get active and beat dementia in Bunbury!

Dementia Australia 2 mins read

The 2025 Bunbury Memory Walk & Jog is nearly here with the event taking place on Saturday 25 March at Bunbury Surf Club.  

 

Dementia Australia’s largest annual fundraising event is heading to Bunbury with participants helping to raise funds in support of people living with dementia, their families and carers.

 

Each event is a fantastic opportunity for people impacted by dementia and their supporters to come together to walk or run, raise much-needed funds and to connect.  

 

An estimated 700 people live with dementia in Bunbury. Dementia is the second leading cause of death of Australians and the leading cause of death of Australian women.

 

As the number of Australians impacted by dementia continues to grow, it is more important than ever that we raise funds and encourage everyone to get active for their brain health.
