Bunbury community members tied up their laces and showed up in force last weekend for the 2026 Bunbury Memory Walk & Jog – throwing their support behind people impacted by dementia whilst getting active to improve their brain health.
More than 100 people walked, ran and jogged to the finish line to raise an impressive total of $17,189.
Dementia Australia CEO Professor Tanya Buchanan extended her gratitude to all who participated, volunteered and raised vital funds for the cause.
“There was an incredible turnout from the Bunbury community this year yet again, in support of the many people impacted by dementia across the country,” Professor Buchanan said.
“It’s been really moving and encouraging to see the community supporting Dementia Australia’s vital work by raising funds and awareness, as well as moving for their brain health – which research shows can help reduce our risk of dementia.”
Professor Buchanan also acknowledged everyone who volunteered at the Bunbury Memory Walk & Jog.
“The day was only possible through the hard work of our wonderful volunteers, who always make Memory Walk & Jog a safe, fun and memorable experience for everyone who takes part”.
This event was one of 14 Memory Walk & Jog events held across Australia in 2026. Each event offers a wonderful opportunity for people impacted by dementia and their supporters to come together, walk or run, at any fitness level, and to raise money and share stories.
