Making a difference with Dementia Australia
Last weekend the FMD team got together in the winter sunshine to participate in Run Melbourne to raise funds for Dementia Australia in support of people living with dementia, and their families and carers.
Thanks to the generosity of our clients, colleagues, friends and community, we have raised an incredible $14,553. Together with FMD Financial's $2,000 contribution, this places us among the top five fundraising teams for the event.
A sincere thank you to everyone who donated and supported our team. Your contribution will help Dementia Australia continue its important work providing support services, advocacy, education and resources to those impacted by dementia. While the event may be over, our fundraising campaign continues.
If you would like to support this important cause, we'd be grateful for your contribution at runmelbourne26.grassrootz.com/dementia/fmd-financial
We're proud to have been part of this fantastic event and grateful for the opportunity to make a positive difference in our community.
About Dementia Australia
Dementia Australia is the national peak body for people impacted by dementia. Their work is deeply aligned with our values of care, advocacy, and support for individuals and families navigating life’s complex stages.
Dementia Australia is the trusted source of information, education and support services for over 433,000 Australians currently living with dementia, and more than 1.7 million people involved in their care. They are tireless advocates for change, championing the voices of those impacted by dementia and leading the way in education, research and awareness.
Their purpose is simple but powerful: to transform the experience of people impacted by dementia. That includes people living with all types of dementia, as well as their families, carers, and the health and aged care professionals supporting them.
Dementia Australia also works to reduce stigma, reshape community attitudes and inspire a more dementia-friendly society. From their 24/7 Helpline and personalised counselling services to award-winning education programs, the depth and impact of Dementia’s Australia’s work is extraordinary.
