The 2025 Sydney Memory Walk & Jog is just a few short weeks away, with the event taking place on Sunday, 25 May at Cathy Freeman Park, Sydney Olympic Park.
Following overwhelming support for last year's Sydney Memory Walk & Jog, we are returning bigger and better for another year.
Memory Walk & Jog Sydney 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 2.5km, 5km or 10km in distance.
Local Sydney resident, Marissa said it was important for their community to support people impacted by dementia and participate in Memory Walk & Jog.
“My inspiration to keep participating this year is because it is a simple and meaningful event that allows us to come together and create awareness for something that affects many,” Marissa said.
“I love getting together with family and friends – Spending time, talking, catching up and being active. I love seeing so many people present, giving comfort and solace knowing there are other families just like ours.”
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/sydney/home.
