DONEGAL is set to host a Alzheimer’s Memory Walk with members of the public invited to sign up.
The walk is being held on Sunday, September 24 in Ards Friary, Creeslough with the starting point and start time will be confirmed at a later date.
The Alzheimer’s Memory Walk is a family-friendly event suitable for all ages and walking abilities to unite friends, families and communities to raise awareness and funds for dementia supports.
The Alzheimer Society of Ireland is aiming to secure over 3,000 walkers across Ireland to participate and help raise funds for vital services that support so many people living with dementia and those who care for them.
These services include Daycare, Daycare at Home, Family Carer Training, Social Clubs, Cafés, and a National Helpline.
An estimated 2,451 people live with dementia in Donegal, and 64,000 people live with dementia in Ireland which will more than double in the next 25 years to over 150,000 by 2045.
