FAMILIES across South Ayrshire are being urged to put their walking boots for the Prestwick Memory Walk to help raise funds of Alzheimer Scotland.
The charity is encouraging people to come together to support people living with dementia by signing up to the event at Prestwick Promenade on Sunday, September 10 and offers families the chance to pay tribute to someone special who is living with dementia, or who has passed away.
The Prestwick Memory Walk is a 5k route and perfect for all ages and abilities, as well as being wheelchair, buggy and dog-friendly.
On the day, they will be bake sales, a bouncy castle, face painting and ‘Beat That’ samba band.
Amy McLaughlan, community fundraiser from Alzheimer Scotland, said: “We are thrilled to be holding our Memory Walk for the first time in the beautiful setting of Prestwick beach. The day can be mixed with emotions but is also a very uplifting and fun for everyone involved.”
Registration for a Memory Walk is £10 for adult walkers, £5 for 12-16 year olds and under 12s can walk for free.
