Story
This will be the Fourth memory walk in Sandwich. Once again, we will be walking the town walls in support of the Alzheimer's society. Colleagues from the Co-op, Staff and volunteers from Age Concern Sandwich, some members of the Sandwich Rotary Club along with others who have an interest in dementia, will be taking part. The aim is to raise awareness of the Disease and hopefully raise some money to support the work Alzheimer's society does to support those living with Dementia.
The date is the 7th September, Starting at the Coop, meeting at 10am for the 10.30am start of the walk.
For Walkers - If you have a Memory walk t-shirt from previous years, please wear it. T-shirts are available to buy, however if you would like to wear something blue instead and make a suggested donation of £5 that would be great!
Dementia is the UKs biggest killer, with someone developing the disease every three minutes and currently there is no cure. We know it is scary but we must confront the biggest health and social care challenge of our time. We owe it to the 900,000 people across the UK currently living with dementia to campaign for change, whilst providing vital day-to-day support. By taking part and raising money, or donating to someone who is, you are helping to do this.
Once you donate, JustGiving sends your money directly to Alzheimer's Society you don't need to do anything and it's the most efficient way to fundraise. So, who will you walk for? #MemoryWalk #walkingtofundacure #dementiafriendlySandwich #dementiafriendlycommunity #livingwellwithdementia
