Dads Army

Share our fundraising effort with your network and let's beat dementia, together.

We're doing the Adelaide Memory Walk & Jog to raise funds for the 421,000 Australian's living with dementia.

On Sunday, 6 April, we’ll be joining the Adelaide Memory Walk & Jog to show our love and help Dementia Australia.

And we need your support! 

Did you know that 1.5 million carers, family members and friends are involved in the care of someone living with dementia in Australia. That's why we're hoping to raise as much money as possible. We'll be walking, jogging, and running to stop dementia in its tracks. 

We'd love you to join us on the day, but if you can't, a generous donation will help provide vital services like counselling, support groups, education, and research to find a cure.

Together we can achieve a lot. That's why your donation will mean the world to us. 

We're all grateful for any amount you can give.

Thank you to our Sponsors
