KIND Black Country folk will be lacing up their walking shoes will be taking part in a fundraiser at a Birmingham hospital as part of dementia awareness week.
Queen Elizabeth Hospital Charity has organised a 5k memory walk on Sunday, May 21, which will start at 10.30am with a free Zumba warm up by instructors Debra Foy and Julie Lennon.
Halesowen resident Shelly Showell, who helped organise the event which will see people walk twice around the hospital, said people across the Black Country were encouraged to take part.
She said the aim is to raise funds for a piece of equipment called a rempod, which is used to help spark memories and aid recovery.
To take part in the run, there is a £10 sign-up fee on the day and for further information, contact Laura.Power@uhb.nhs.uk
