Walk or Run 80k for Dementia Awareness
This year, Age UK Norwich is taking on dementia head-on by
encouraging our supporters and service users to walk a staggering 80 kilometers
throughout the month of May.
This can be done individually or collectively as a group by
walking or running.
Every step you take will contribute to vital support
services we provide in Norwich.
Why 80k?

80 Years of Impact: Age UK Norwich has been a beacon of support
for adults over 50 in Norwich for 80 years. This challenge celebrates our
legacy and our commitment to improving the lives of those living with
