Who are you walking for?

In every step, lies a story. Walk For a Cure brings together everyone impacted by dementia. Who will you walk for?

  • For people like me, who are living with dementia

    Walk For A Cure is an inclusive space for everyone.

  • For someone I love, affected by dementia

    Walk for someone you love to show you care and to take positive steps towards a cure.

  • For someone special to me, who was taken by dementia

    Walk in memory of a special person to remember them, honour them and keep memories alive.

  • For A Cure

    One in two people in the UK will either develop dementia, care for someone with the condition, or both. This cannot go on. We need to Walk For A Cure.
