Dementia Awareness Week wrapped up in Port Macquarie yesterday with more than 250 people taking part in a community walk from Westport park to Town Beach.
With the emphasis on keeping a healthy mind and body, the Alzheimers Australia event also featured gentle exercise classes and a fun run.
Before setting off on the walk, participants took part in activities on the Hastings River foreshore.
Community awareness of the issue is particularly important in the Port Macquarie state electorate, which has the second highest number of dementia cases in New South Wales.
