An increase in community support and awareness ticked all the boxes for Alzheimers Whanganui's Memory Walk event.
The walk was held on Saturdayand manager Wendy Patterson said there was a noticeable change in response.
"We think we had more public support than in the past couple of years," Patterson said.
"The number of walkers was down a bit but there were more people coming to the marquee at the Whanganui River Market, making inquiries and purchasing things.
"It was a really good day. It was beautiful weather and it was great to see people there dressed in purple. The support from the whole community has been fabulous."
