actress vicky mcclure calls<br />

on nottinghamshire to back<br />

smaller walks<br />

by Alzheimer’s Society<br />

Almost a decade of walking with thousands to help<br />

beat dementia, actress Vicky McClure now urges her<br />

hometown to plan their own Memory Walks.<br />

Alzheimer’s Society is calling on 1,316 people across<br />

Nottinghamshire – the exact number that attended last<br />

year’s Memory Walk in Wollaton Park – to take part in a<br />

very different version of its most popular fundraiser.<br />

Despite the Coronavirus pandemic bringing large events<br />

to a halt, the charity is seeking to replicate 2019’s<br />

success with hundreds of smaller walks.<br />

For Vicky, Alzheimer’s Society Ambassador, it will be a<br />

much quieter affair when she completes her own walk in<br />

memory of her nana.<br />

She said: “Had the normal Memory Walks taken place this<br />

year, it would have been my 10th year attending such an<br />

event in Nottinghamshire. While it saddens me that we<br />

can’t all get together this year, I’m determined with my<br />

family to walk my own way and I encourage you to sign<br />

up too.”<br />

People with dementia have been worst hit by<br />

coronavirus, not just in terms of deaths. More than half a<br />

million people have used Alzheimer’s Society’s support<br />

services since to start of the pandemic, with many<br />

calling them a lifeline.<br />

This is why the charity says it has never been more<br />

important to raise money, to help reach and support<br />

those who need it most. Many supporters are expected<br />

to arrange walks to coincide with World Alzheimer’s<br />

Day on 20 <strong>Sept</strong>ember. However, walks can take place<br />

any time between now and <strong>Oct</strong>ober. Sign up now at<br />
