A memory walk is scheduled to take place in Drogheda this Sunday to show support for people living with dementia, according to the Irish Independent.
The event is one of two dementia-related walks highlighted in recent reporting. Separately, Donegal Rose Emma Nelis is set to take part in an Alzheimer's Memory Walk, donegaldaily.com reports.
Both walks are linked to efforts to back people affected by dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The Irish Independent's report centres on the Drogheda event, while the Donegal Daily report focuses on Nelis's participation in the Alzheimer's walk.
The two reports surfaced on Thursday, 17 September 2026, ahead of the weekend events. Beyond the headline details, no further information on routes, start times or fundraising targets was included in the available material.
Dementia is a condition that affects memory, thinking and behaviour, and awareness events such as memory walks are commonly used to bring communities together around those living with the illness and their families. The reporting does not specify how many people are expected to attend either walk or how the proceeds, if any, will be used.
What to watch next: further coverage from the Irish Independent and Donegal Daily is expected to provide details on turnout and any funds raised at both walks.
