About the Walk
What is the Walk to REMEMBER?
The Walk to Remember is our largest series of community events, raising funds and awareness for those living with dementia in Western Australia.
Join us in Mandurah, Albany or Perth as we walk to remember loved ones with dementia. The event is perfect for all ages so bring your family, friends and colleagues for a day of fun.
The Walk to Remember is also dog friendly. Bring along your canine companion for free (on a lead, of course!).
Challenge yourself to complete the 4 x lap course (13.6km) in Perth, or take on our shorter course options available in Perth, Mandurah and Albany. Either way, your steps will make a difference.
After your walk, stay for a picnic in the park and enjoy the post-walk festivities. Pack your own food or sample the culinary delights from the food trucks. Relieve sore muscles with complimentary massages (Mandurah and Perth walks only) and entertain the kids with free face painting, slides and competitions!
Register for the event today and begin fundraising with your personalised fundraising page. Ask people you know to sponsor your walk with a donation. Every dollar raised will help Alzheimer’s WA to ensure no one faces dementia alone.
So grab your comfiest pair of walking shoes and join Alzheimer’s WA at the 2019 Walk to Remember.
