Mallow Castle Grounds will proudly host the Alzheimer’s Memory Walk this year as part of the nationwide Alzheimer’s Memory Walk, taking place on Sunday, September 21st in honour of World Alzheimer’s Day.
Bringing together families, friends and communities to walk in solidarity with the 64,000 people living with dementia in Ireland – and to remember those who are no longer with us – the walk is more than just a fundraiser, it’s a celebration of connection, compassion and community. In 2024, nearly 3,500 walkers nationwide raised over €150,000 to support vital services including Daycare, Support Groups, Family Carer Training, Social Clubs, Memory Cafés, and the ASI National Helpline.
There are 11,000 new cases of dementia in Ireland each year, that’s at least 30 people every day, and anyone can get dementia – even people in their 30s/40s/50s.
