Presenter makes sign up request to Londoners

Memory Walk is Alzheimer's Society's flagship event and each September it's held in numerous locations across the country. The London Memory Walk, sponsored by healthcare provider Simplyhealth, will take place on Sunday 26 September at the Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park, Lambeth, and participants can choose to complete distances of 2.5, 6 or 10 miles.

Richard who will be opening the event says,

'I know what it's like to care for a loved one with dementia. Memory Walk offers people the great opportunity to make a difference to the lives of carers and people across the capital living with dementia.'

This year, the Memory Walk Team is hoping to recruit at least 500 walkers and generate even more than the £34,000 raised at last year's event.  There is also a wealth of entertainment on offer those not taking part in the walk including flamenco dancers, folk singers, various stalls and fun activities.

Maggie Owolade, London Area Manager says,

'It's not too late for Londoners to play a vital role in Memory Walk and help Alzheimer's Society in the fight against dementia.'
