Participate to Support Dementia Awareness
Pratten Park will host the 2026 Gold Coast Memory Walk & Jog this Sunday, 7th June. Everyone in the Gold Coast community is invited to raise awareness and funds for dementia. The event begins at 7:30 am, offering participants the option to walk, jog, or run. Already, more than 870 people have signed up to participate, but there’s still room for more. Interested individuals can register online or sign up on the day of the event.
MC Takaya Honda will host the day’s activities, ensuring a fun and family-friendly atmosphere. This is an opportunity for the community to engage in physical activity while supporting those affected by dementia.
How to Get Involved
Individuals unable to attend the Memory Walk & Jog can still participate through a MyWay event. Organise your own walk or jog, choosing a date and location that suits you, while still contributing to the cause.
