Dementia Research Community

45 HOUR CHALLENGE is officially complete for our solo riders and relay teams on spin bikes and a treadmill 🏁🏆

Over the course of three days, they have dedicated every hour, second, and minute to raising awareness and funds for dementia research.

We couldn’t have done this without our volunteers, sponsors, and trainers who have worked tirelessly to make this feat happen.

Finally, we couldn’t have done this without you. Yes, you that’s reading this. Your presence, donations, and support pushed our participants to the finish line. With you, we are able to give hope to families impacted by dementia through vital research.

It is not too late to join 45 Hour Challenge. You have until the end of July to walk, run, bike, and move for dementia.

Till the next ride to remember 👋

A huge shout-out to the teams taking on the 45 Hour Challenge this July - Cannacord Genuity, Clydies for a Cure, Dementia Research Centre at Macquarie University, Team OniGroup, Team Moulis and St Michael's are clocking up 45 hours of movement across the month, for the 450,000 Australians living with dementia.

There's still time to start your own. Any movement, any pace, all July. Get your team together and join them. Link in bio.

Every hour you move this July goes somewhere real. To date, the Dementia Research Community has raised over $2.6 million for 13 research projects across Australia.

That's scientists developing simple blood tests to detect dementia early, using gene-editing to target the errors that cause Alzheimer's, and working to clear the toxic proteins that damage the brain. Real labs, real breakthroughs, real hope.

Dementia is the leading cause of death in Australia, with an estimated 447,000 people living with it today. Your 45 hours helps change that. Move for them this July. Link in bio.

Meet the Forget Me Knots team, going all in - Jo, John, Cassie, David, Michelle and Alison have signed up to ride the full 45 hours, non-stop, through two nights at Coogee Surf Club on 17 to 19 July.
Six people, one bike, never stopping, for the 450,000 Australians living with dementia.
