Alzheimer's Society has organized a fundraising event, memory walk. The event was organized at Bute Park in Cardiff.

It is expected that the fundraising event meant for dementia patients as well as for their carers would have raised £100,000. There were two ways that participants had to choose from. They could either take 2km path or 10km route.

The exciting activities were being filmed by BBC Wales. Another memory walk is going to take place on September 25. The event will take place at 10.30 am. Main aim of the event will be to raise funds for dementia patients as well as to raise funds for research and care facilities.

Care home manager Vivienne Herbert said that more number of people should take part in the event. “Memory Walk is a worthy cause for our local people to get involved with and I’m sure everyone, no matter what their age, will have a great time at these fun, social events”, said Herbert.

It has been found that a number of care homes take part in the initiative. In 2012, as many as 160 Bupa care homes had taken part in the event. Their efforts have contributed £1.4m.
