Story
The fight against Dementia is something close to my heart as my Baba (an intelligent and witty woman who spoke 7 different languages) developed it in her later years.
Support me (who is not blessed with 6 foot height and lengthy limbs) as I try to achieve a semi-decent time for the Odgers Berndtson 2000m indoor rowing challenge! Every little bit helps!
Odgers Berndtson is committed to supporting local charities.
Our Global Charity Challenge provides an opportunity for all of our colleagues to get involved with fundraising and volunteering for worthy causes.
Dementia Australia represents the 436,366 Australians living with dementia and the almost 1.5 million Australians involved in their care.
They advocate for the needs of people living with all types of dementia, and for their families and carers, and provide support services, education and information.
Colleagues from across all our international offices will take part in a rowing challenge (2,000m indoor rowing) and see how we compare
against each other and the World Record times. We are rowing with the goal of raising money for Dementia Australia.

They advocate on the basis of evidence-based policy, promote awareness of dementia, administer national contracts with the Commonwealth Government and provide research grants to emerging researchers through the Dementia Australia Research Foundation.
