Help me raise money in honour of my Dad, Jim Hickey and the 400,000 Australian’s living with dementia.
On Sunday, 5 May, I'm taking part in Melbourne Memory Walk & Jog to raise funds to support Australian's impacted by dementia. This is a cause close to my heart and I would love your support.
Please make a donation to support my efforts and help us reach our goal to beat dementia.
Not many people know, but dementia is Australia's second-leading cause of death. By 2058 it's expected that over 800,000 Australian's will have dementia. But we can change this.
All money I raise will support the work of Dementia Australia and help provide vital support services like counselling, support groups, education, and research to help find a cure.
Together we can achieve a lot. Your donation would mean the world to me.
Thanks for your support!

"I used the national dementia helpline for the first time last week. I had kept putting off calling them about my mum, I don’t know why… your insta posts about this run gave me the courage to hit the dial button. An incredible (free) service and an invaluable organisation. Thank you Geraldine for all you are doing to raise awareness and funds x"
