The motion

That the Parliament acknowledges that Alzheimer Scotland’s Memory Walk will take place between 15 and 17 September 2023, or on a date of people's choosing, to walk in memory and in honour of loved ones; notes that people across Scotland will come together to participate in the Your Walk, Your Way campaign, where people can choose where they want to walk, who they walk with and who they want to walk for; understands that participants can opt for a route that has special meaning with family and friends or a challenge with colleagues; further understands that, in Scotland, over 90,000 people are living with dementia; notes that Memory Walks across Scotland have so far raised over £1 million since the campaign began, helping to provide crucial support across the country for people with dementia, their families and carers; considers that those taking part in Scotland's Memory Walk are helping to continue crucial work, and notes that World Alzheimer’s Month is the international campaign by Alzheimer’s Disease International (ADI) that is held every September, to raise awareness and challenge the stigma that surrounds dementia.
