Midlands comedian Neil Delamere and beauty expert and entrepreneur Pamela Laird are inviting the people of Westmeath to make every step count for the third successive Alzheimer’s Memory Walk, proudly supported by Irish Life, which is taking place nationwide on Sunday, September 18, during World Alzheimer’s Month 2022.
Alzheimer’s Memory Walk is a family-friendly event suitable for all ages and abilities to unite together with their families and communities to raise awareness and funds for dementia supports. The ASI hopes that 3,000 walkers across Ireland will help us raise €250,000 for vital services that help to support so many people with dementia and their family carers across Ireland.
An estimated 1,154 people live with dementia in Westmeath, and 64,000 people live with dementia in Ireland which will more than double in the next 25 years to over 150,000 by 2045.
Walk with your household, family, friends and pets; it’s guaranteed to be a fun event. You can choose where you walk, whether your back garden or the local park – remember, on Sunday, September 18 – Let’s Walk Together. Family-friendly prices are €8 for children and €20 for adults.
