The 2025 Forster-Tuncurry Memory Walk & Jog is just a few short weeks away, with the event taking place on Saturday 22 March at John Wright Park, Tuncurry.
Following overwhelming support for last year's Forster-Tuncurry Memory Walk & Jog, we are returning bigger and better for another year.
Memory Walk & Jog Forster-Tuncurry will help advance the work of Dementia Australia, which delivers invaluable support, education and resources for people living with dementia, their families and carers.
Memory Walk & Jog is about being part of the community and feeling supported. We are in this together, which is why participants can walk, jog or run and select from either 3km or 6km in distance.
Memory Walk & Jog is also a great opportunity for everyone to get active which research shows can help reduce our risk of dementia. Get active and beat dementia. Sign-up to participate in Memory Walk & Jog or volunteer by visiting https://www.memorywalk.com.au/event/forster-tuncurry/home
