Get active and beat dementia in Templestowe!

Dementia Australia 2 mins read
  • Media:

The 2025 Templestowe Memory Walk & Jog is nearly here with the event taking place on Sunday 11 May at Westerfolds Park, Templestowe. 

 

Dementia Australia’s largest annual fundraising event returns to Templestowe 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.

 

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 3,170 people live with dementia in the City of Manningham. 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.
