Aaron’s story
Losing his grandparents so close together was really tough on Aaron and his family. So when Aaron heard about Move for Dementia, he knew he wanted to get moving. “I wanted to jump at the opportunity, do my part and try to help out.”
If you have been affected by dementia, and would like to share your story, we would love to hear from you.

comms@alzheimers.org.nz, giving us as much information as you can and feel comfortable with.
