Get active and beat dementia in Perth!

Dementia Australia 2 mins read

The 2025 Perth Memory Walk & Jog is nearly here with the event taking place on 30 March at Burswood Park. 

 

Dementia Australia’s largest annual fundraising event returns to Perth in the hopes of attracting our biggest crowd yet, with participants helping to raise funds in support of people living with dementia, their families and carers.

 

Join MC Dementia Australia Ambassador Mark Gibson for a wonderful fun, family friendly day out. 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 345 people live with dementia in the City of Perth council area. 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.
