Redcliffe residents gathered at Scarborough Beach Park to take part in the 2025 Memory Walk & Jog, supporting people impacted by dementia.
More than 620 people from the Redcliffe community participated in the Memory Walk & Jog. They raised $97,700 for Dementia Australia. The event, held on Saturday, 24 May, welcomed individuals of all fitness levels, with options to walk, jog, or run along the coastal course.
Ongoing Awareness Efforts
The Redcliffe event formed part of a national series of 28 Memory Walk & Jog events held in 2025. These events aim to promote brain health through physical activity while supporting people impacted by dementia. Dementia Australia reports that approximately 82,270 people in Queensland are currently living with dementia, contributing to a national estimate of over 433,300.
Funds raised are used to support Dementia Australia’s services. This includes education programs, family and carer support, and ongoing research into treatment and prevention.
Community Participation and Volunteer Support
Volunteers played a key role in delivering the Redcliffe event. Organisers acknowledged their efforts as essential to its operation. Community involvement was also evident through participants arriving in fancy dress and taking part with their dogs, with the course accommodating a wide range of participation styles.
Options for Broader Involvement
For those who were unable to attend the Redcliffe event, the Memory Walk & Jog program offers a “MyWay” option. This enables individuals or groups to organise their walk or jog at a preferred time and location while continuing to raise awareness and funds.
Event Summary
The Redcliffe Memory Walk & Jog reported participation of over 620 people and a total of $97,700 raised. The event formed part of a larger national effort to support individuals and families impacted by dementia, with more opportunities available through the wider program.
