Best Foot Forward For Alzheimers
People affected by dementia have been left severely impacted by coronavirus – but you can help.
As well as people with dementia being the worst hit in terms of deaths, Alzheimers Society is hearing daily from people who are seeing their symptoms increase, mental health decline, and family carers in despair.
Get your support pack and organise your own Memory Walk
The charity is encouraging everyone to undertake a fundraising Memory Walk in March. You may be one of the thousands of people across the UK who has been personally affected by dementia. You may be wanting to walk as a way of remembering a loved one – or you may just want a fun-filled activity to raise money for charity.
You can complete your own Memory Walk, however and wherever you choose, in line with Government guidance.
Join us in the summer for Trek26!
Then put your best foot forward by signing up to one of Alzheimer’s Society’s epic Trek26 events. Taking place in one of five stunning locations across the UK, you can choose to take on a 13 or 26-mile trek.

It’s never been more important to raise money to help us reach and support more people through our vital services, like our Dementia Connect support line.
Alzheimer’s Society services have been used almost 3 million times since March 2020. You can help us make even more of a difference by walking against dementia.
