Event: Step Up For Dementia, from 15 March 2021 to 30 April 2022
Participants: Louise Donnelly, Elaine Gaynor, Aoibhinn Donnelly
Could you step up to help us beat dementia sooner? We're challenging you to walk 850,000 steps within three months.

Story

We will be walking/running 850,000 steps over the course of 3 months (an average of 9,400 steps per day) to raise money for Alzheimer’s Society UK. There are currently 850,000 people in the UK living with dementia. This will be a combined total of 3,400,000 steps across the 4 of us! 

We are taking on this challenge in memory of our beloved mother and granny Rita, who was diagnosed with dementia before she passed away last month.

We want to raise money in Rita's honour, to help those who are affected by dementia and their families.

Any donations at all are appreciated!

Here's to Rita <3
