Walk or Run 80k for Dementia Awareness

Run or Walk 80k for Dementia Awareness

This year, Age UK Norwich is taking on dementia head-on by encouraging our supporters and service users to walk a staggering 80 kilometers throughout the month of May.

This can be done individually or collectively as a group by walking or running. 

Every step you take will contribute to vital support services we provide in Norwich.

Why 80k?

  • Celebrating 80 Years of Impact: Age UK Norwich has been a beacon of support for adults over 50 in Norwich for 80 years. This challenge celebrates our legacy and our commitment to improving the lives of those living with dementia.
  • Dementia is a Major Challenge: Dementia affects thousands of people in Norwich and their families. By walking 80k, we're raising awareness and crucial funds to support vital services like:
    • Dementia Support Clubs: Providing a safe and supportive space for people living with dementia and their carers.
    • Information and Advice: Providing guidance and resources on all aspects of dementia, from diagnosis to care options.
