Wesham Memory Walk

13436003_10154333673257160_614890211_n The Wesham Memory Walk was launched in 2015, in response to the lack of an officially organised walk in the local area. Memory walks are held around the country in the months of September and October to promote an awareness of dementia and raise much needed funds for the Alzheimer’s Society.13405194_10154333672967160_1883788708_o

13454040_10154333673047160_679661138_nThe first walk, held on 4 October, was a huge success, raising just under £6000 for the Alzheimer’s Society. More importantly though, the communities of Kirkham and Wesham walked together through the beautiful streets and lanes of our area and supported the event with masses of enthusiasm.13445922_10154333672567160_1875279345_o

We want to build upon that success this year and make the event even bigger! This year’s walk will be on SUNDAY 18th SEPTEMBER at 13.00 from St Joseph’s in Wesham. The route is a gentle, scenic 5.5km meander, which people can walk, run or jog. We encourage people of all ages, individuals or groups, families and friends (including their dogs) to participate.13444445_10154333673322160_182960259_n
