The 2025 Sydney Memory Walk & Jog is nearly here with the event taking place on Sunday 25 May at Cathy Freeman Park, Sydney Olympic Park.
Dementia Australia’s largest annual fundraising event returns to Sydney 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’s Jess Redmayne and Charlie Brown 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.
More than 1,920 people live with dementia in the City of Sydney local 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.
