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 />
