Dementia Australia 2 mins read

The 2025 Cronulla Memory Walk & Jog is upon us, with the much-anticipated event taking place this weekend on Sunday 2 March at Don Lucas Reserve.

 

Starting at 7:30am, we welcome everyone in the Cronulla community to join fellow participants as they walk, jog or run for better brain health and to help raise money in support of people living with dementia, their families and carers.  

 

Join MC Woody Whitelaw for a wonderful fun, family friendly day out. 

 

More than 700 people have already signed-up to take part – but there’s always room for more with online registrations still open, or sign-up on the day of the event.
