I’m raising funds for all people living with dementia.

I'm taking part in Cuppa Time for Dementia toΒ raise funds that support more than 410,000 Australians living with this condition right now.Β 

But I need your help!

Please support me so we can continue to help people with dementia by providing the services and support they need every day.

  • Provide a 24 hour support lineΒ 
  • Offer counselling servicesΒ 
  • Create and provide important information about dementiaΒ 
  • Help people plan their next steps after a diagnosisΒ 
  • Fund much needed research into prevention, treatments, and a cure.

Let's tackle dementia, together.Β 

Thank you for your support.Β

Cuppa Time is here!

Monday 7th Oct
Sunshine, delicious cakes and treats, and compassionate friends made for a most wonderful morning tea. Proud to have raised nearly $8,000 for Dementia Australia, and we are still going!

Raising the target one more time

Tuesday 1st Oct
Unbelievably I started the fundraiser with an $800 target. Then when my friends and family responded so generously, I raised it to $3000, then $5000. Now with morning tea coming up this Saturday, might as well make it a stretch $6000.Β  It almost doesn't seem real, but I can assure you the support we get from Dementia Australia is VERY real.Β  Thanks to everyone that has donated to my fundraiser.Β  Love to you all.

Can never have too much support!

Monday 30th Sep

Since connecting with Dementia Australia, we’ve received a wide range of support tailored to our needs and delivered by real people.

Support Received:

  • Individual counseling for caregivers
  • Couples program for those living with Younger Onset Dementia
  • Connecting Peers program
  • Flexible group sessions on specific topics
  • Access to a comprehensive dementia library

Future Support Options:

  • Family counseling
  • 24-hour helpline

This support has made a significant difference in our journey, and we deeply appreciate the ongoing value of support from friends and family.

Let’s do this

Monday 9th Sep
Hello friends, I am absolutely blown away by the generosity of my network. I hit my first target quickly, so I raised it nearly 4x and hit the new target again. So I’ve raised it one more time. Turns out I am at the top of the Dementia Australia fundraising leaderboard and I really want to stay there!

Dementia is a terrible disease that affects so many. I read a post today that said early parenting was the hardest job in the world, and it can be relentless, but there is so much joy in it and so many exciting milestones. Living with dementia is similarly relentless but the milestones are all about loss. Β And it doesn’t just happen to old people.Β 

My primary role now is looking after Peter to ensure he is safe and enjoying life as best he can. Β He is in good spirits most of the time and relishes the company of friends. I am lucky to have found valuable support for both of us through Dementia Australia. And I couldn’t do what I do without the support of my friends! ❀️

Betsy I noticed quite a while ago now that Peter seemed unwell as I had a casual chat when walking by. Since then I have wondered what it might be. Your fundraiser has clarified that. Thinking of you all as a family and how you are coping with it all.
