Fundraisers for a Banbury dementia charity have invited peoplr to sponsor them as they take on the final leg of a month-long walking challenge this weekend.

Staff, volunteers and local businesses have challenged themselves to complete Dementia Active’s walk a marathon (26.2 miles) challenge this month.

The Dementia Active June Challenge has so far raised an incredible £7,432, which will go back towards supporting Banbury residents with dementia.

For the grand finale this Sunday (June 30), the fundraisers will walk the 10-mile route of the Banbury fringe walk.

Team Keter is ready to claim their biodegradable medals by completing the Dementia Active Walk a Marathon challenge.

Setting off at 11am from Banbury Rugby Club, the walkers sporting blue ‘Dementia Active’ t-shirts will complete 10 miles before finishing at the rugby club.

Drinks and food will be available to purchase from the rugby club after the event.

Those who have completed the 10-mile walk will receive a 100 per cent biodegradable Style Acre medal that can be used to grow wildflowers once planted.
