Some of my friends have been personally affected by loved ones suffering from dementia so I am joining the 'Ride to Remember' on 10 September to support them and their families and to raise funds for the support services and education provided by Alzheimer's Australia for people living with all types of dementia and their families and carers.

Any donation is greatly appreciated.

Dementia is a heartbreaking and cruel disease which affects an estimated 353,800 Australians and an estimated 1.2 million Australians involved in their care. Dementia is the second leading cause of death in Australia and there is no cure.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
