People affected by dementia and their carers have been left severely impacted by coronavirus. Thousands of people been cut off from support networks and our services, which heavily rely on donations, have never been in more urgent need.  But with one single step, you can make a difference.

Alzheimer’s Society’s Memory Walks, sponsored by Santander, are a great way to walk for a loved one, walk for a shared goal and walk for a world without dementia. 

It’s completely free to register and it’s up to you where you walk, from lapping your garden or local park to revisiting somewhere special. Whether it’s on your own, with your household or with your four-legged friends, it’s your walk, your way.

You can either virtually unite with the nation by signing up to a special World Alzheimer’s Day Memory Walk on the 20 September or complete your walk at a time that suits you from July-October.

You may be one of thousands of people across the UK who has been personally affected by dementia, or you may be wanting to walk as a way of remembering a loved one. You may just want a fun-filled activity to do to raise money for charity. Whatever your motivation is for raising vital funds for Alzheimer’s Society, it’s never been more important to tie those laces tight and put your best foot forward to support those who need us most.

The money you raise from completing your own Memory Walk will help the charity be there to support anyone affected by dementia, whoever they are and whatever they are going through. Donations will go towards increasing telephone support via Alzheimer’s Society’s Dementia Connect support line, which has been a lifeline for thousands of people during the coronavirus pandemic.

The need to continue to improve and provide support is more crucial than ever. By completing your own Memory Walk, you can make sure we’re there for all of them.
