IN THE COMMUNITY

GETTING THE MOST OUT OF YOUR NDIS PLAN

DEMENTIA AUSTRALIA MEMORY WALK AND JOG

BE ACTIVE. BEAT DEMENTIA. 

Walk, jog or run – there’s a Memory Walk & Jog for everyone! Together we get active, we fundraise, and we step up for people living with dementia to say: ‘You are not alone!’

Memory Walk & Jog is fun for the whole community! We’ve got a distance to suit you – whether you’re a fitness fanatic or a couch connoisseur. Whether you walk, jog or run, it’s a great event for all, so make sure you bring the whole family.

We love it when kids (and adults!) go that extra step with their fancy-dress outfits or show their passion in their Memory Walk & Jog T-shirts and Dementia Warrior gear! Our walk courses are dog-friendly too. Remember to register your safe family dog, as passes are limited. We’ll give you a bandana they can wear as a dedicated dementia-defeating doggy!

A WALK OFF THE WAR WITHIN

On Saturday 14 March 2020, can you be part of Walking Off The War Within in Mildura and help fight depression and post-traumatic stress disorder? Together we can shake off the stigma associated with PTSD.  Join Emergency Service Personnel, Defence Force Personnel and members of the public to walk in memory of Nathan Shanahan, a returned solider and firefighter, and other fallen servicemen and -women who have taken their own lives after battling mental health issues. Nathan was a fierce advocate for mental health and PTSD. Sadly, Nathan lost his battle in December 2016. Walking Off The War Within preserves Nathan’s legacy.

The Challenge – complete the ultimate 20km with 20kg. Or walk any distance you can – with or without a pack. Everyone of all levels of fitness is welcome. For further information, click here.
