Story

Once again this year the Walking for Dementia team will be taking on an epic three-day walk to raise funds to enhance care and facilities at Llandudno Hospital for patients living with dementia.

Last year over 50 people joined in on the final day, walking 5 miles from Conwy Morfa (in stunning sunshine!) to Llandudno, receiving a hero's welcome at the Hospital, followed by a tea party. It really was a special day.

This year, there are 4 legs of varying distance to choose from - you can walk one, two, three or all four legs. It's up to you!

Leg 1: Penrhyn Castle (Bangor) to Llanfairfechan Seafront - 6.7 miles

Leg 2: Llanfairfechan Seafront to Penmaenmawr Beach Cafe - 2.8 miles

Leg 3: Penmaenmawr Beach Cafe to the Liverpool Arms Conwy - 5 miles

Leg 4: Liverpool Arms Conwy to Llandudno Hospital - 3.3 miles

All 4: Penrhyn Castle (Bangor) to Llandudno Hospital - 17.8 miles

With the money raised by the Walking For Dementia team, NHS staff at Llandudno Hospital have been able to install this fantastic LED ceiling on the ward, for patients to enjoy. It sparks conversation, brings a smile to faces and simply provides a nice relaxing environment for patients when they are feeling anxious or upset.

This year, there's a suggested donation of £5 per participant, and we'd like everyone taking part to try and get as much sponsorship as they can.

To sign up for the walk, please visit: walkingfordementia.eventbrite.co.uk

Remember: any money you donate or raise will go directly towards improving facilities at Llandudno Hospital for patients living with dementia. This year, the team would like to raise enough money to set up a vintage train carriage reminiscence area!

All participants will receive a T-Shirt and food & drink at the afterparty at Llandudno Hospital.
