Calling all singletons out there!
Published 23 February 2010
Put this date in your diary, Saturday 24 April, for a dating event with a difference - speed dating walk with proceeds coming to Alzheimer's Society.
The idea is simple - walking in beautiful countryside whilst meeting eligible men and women. The walk starts in Kent at the Chaser, Shipbourne and will be approximately 2.5 hours, ending back at the Chaser pub for a spot of lunch.
The event is free but a suggested donation of £5 would be appreciated with all proceeds coming to Alzheimer's Society.

I got involved with Alzheimer's because my Dad suffered badly for years. He died in 2002.
During his Alzheimer's decline, my sister and I had to fight for simple care for Dad and despite our best efforts, he suffered terribly
Alzheimer's relatives need to be the voice of their loved one.'
