Dementia Awareness
BUNBURY — The Memory Walk & Jog Bunbury is set to return on Saturday, 28 March, at Back Beach, Bunbury, promoting brain health and raising awareness for dementia, according to Dementia Australia. This annual event invites participants to walk, jog, or run to support those affected by dementia.
The event, organized by Dementia Australia, aims to gather the community to raise funds for essential services, education, and resources for individuals living with dementia and their carers. Participants can choose between 2.5km or 5km distances, making it accessible for various fitness levels.
