The second ‘forget–me–not’ walk takes place on Sunday 11 September 2011 at Whitlingham Great Broad. The three–mile ramble organised by Norfolk Admirals aims to raise awareness of dementia and its impact on sufferers, carers and families.
The money raised will also help to kick–start an Admiral Nurse service in Norfolk and Waveney.
Walkers are asked to arrive at the Whitlingham Visitor Centre by 9.30am for a 10am start of a gentle walk around Whitlingham Great Broad.
