Memory Walk 2021
Campaign by Alzheimer's Society (RCN 296645)
This year thousands of people will walk united, against dementia. With your help, we aim to raise as much money as possible to help anyone affected by dementia.

Story

February 2016 our lives changed. We had it confirmed my husband had dementia. Only to find a week later it was vascular dementia. There is no cure, no medication, and a short life span from it. 

Around 4 weeks later my husband took his last breath with us by his side in Walsall manor hospital. It was the most heartbreaking experience I went through. 

It is not just the dementia sufferers that suffer, family’s suffering too! Watching there loved one fade away. Not being able to do anything to stop this awful disease.

I want to help as best I can. And if this charity can help the patient and the family make the best out of there lives then we’re on the best path possible. Let’s help to make everyone’s life as best we can.

Every three minutes someone in the UK develops dementia. That's the equivalent of around 225,000 people every year. By taking part in Memory Walk you are helping us walk for a dementia free future and help people affected by dementia.Once you donate, JustGiving will send your money directly to Alzheimer's Society. So it's the most efficient way to raise money, saving time and cutting costs for the charity. Let's take on dementia together!
