Ambassadors, supporters and local champions at the launch of Alzheimer’s Memory Walk 2024.
The fifth annual Alzheimer’s Memory Walk takes place on Sunday, 22nd September 2024.
Set to be the largest Memory Walk to date, Grainne Roche Duff from The Alzheimer Society of Ireland in Laois is urging the people of Laois to register now at www.memorywalk.ie and walk with her on the 22nd September at Ballyroan Abbey GAA at 11am.
Speaking ahead of Alzheimer’s Memory Walk, Grainne commented, "I am really looking forward to this year's Laois Memory Walk. It is going to be a great day to get together and walk with and for loved ones who are living with dementia and to remember loved ones who are sadly no longer with us. It is a chance to share memories and create new ones together and is such a lovely event for everyone who attends. I would encourage everyone who can to register now at www.memorywalk.ie to join me on September 22nd at Ballyroan Abbey GAA at 11am.”
The Alzheimer Society of Ireland is encouraging everyone to get behind this year’s Alzheimer’s Memory Walk, supported by Payzone, on Sunday, September 22nd to help raise awareness and funds to help those living with dementia.
Register online now at www.memorywalk.ie to make and share memories on Sunday, 22nd September at a location near you. You will receive an Alzheimer’s Memory Walk Participant Pack including your t-shirt and a special pack of Forget Me Not flower seeds to sow at home to help create an annual memory each time the flowers bloom. Adult registration costs €20 and a child’s pack is €5.
Memory Walk honours, remembers, and celebrates the 64,000 people in Ireland living with dementia, along with their families and carers. It also cherishes the memory of those who are no longer with us.
In 2023, 3,500 walkers participated in Memory Walk and raised over €120,000 which helped fund vital services for people with dementia, including Daycare, Daycare at Home, Family Carer Training, Social Clubs, Cafés, and a National Helpline.
