For those already registered for Dementia Australia's Memory Walk & Jog in Batemans Bay this Sunday, 19 February at Rotary Park, we're looking forward to seeing you! Let's race together.


For those yet to sign up, there’s still time to see the finish line and imagine a world without dementia. Register at www.memorywalk.com.au by Friday 17 February or at the event at Rotary Park on the day itself.

Why Walk for dementia?

There are more than 400,000 people of all ages living with some form of dementia in Australia. Without a medical breakthrough, the number of people living with dementia is expected to almost double in 30 years. Dementia is the second leading cause of death in Australia and the leading cause of death for women. Batemans Bay is one of 20 Memory Walk & Jog events around the country. Participants can register as an individual or a team, to raise awareness and vital funds for people impacted by dementia.

Batemans Bay local, Marlene, has signed up to join in this Sunday and is walking for her mum Jan, who has lived with dementia for 15 years.

“Living with a family member with dementia has an impact on all the family. We have all adjusted our lives to continually provide our support, love and encouragement to ensure that our mum is comfortable, is in a caring environment and always knows she is loved. Memory Walk & Jog is such a great cause to fundraise for. All funds raised from the Memory Walk and Jog will help the work of Dementia Australia to provide vital support services for people living with dementia, their families and carers.”

Walk or jog with us. We are in this together.

  • Sign-up to join in or volunteer at a Memory Walk & Jog event at www.memorywalk.com.au

  • Decide to walk, jog or run and select from a variety of distances.
