ADSG launches September zip-wire challenge to fund dementia support on the Costa del Sol

The Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support Group (ADSG) is set to host a charity zip-wire event in September to raise funds for its work supporting those affected by dementia along the Costa del Sol and the inland Malaga area. The condition remains far more prevalent than many realize, prompting regular support meetings that paused after their final session on Monday before resuming following the summer break.

The event, taking place on September 26th at Sunview Park Adventure, just outside Alhaurin de la Torre, has already booked 25 places, with a few remaining slots available. Participants will navigate a long, high-speed course, raising sponsorship that goes directly towards ADSG’s free meetings, advice, and practical help for families across the region.

Despite concerns about weight restrictions, the course is described as exhilarating and suitable for individuals up to 110 kg. To participate, organizers urge individuals to collect as much sponsorship as possible, with official forms and further details available upon request. Interested individuals can contact the team via WhatsApp at 610 774 408 to secure their remaining spot or to support someone already registered.

Funds raised will help maintain ADSG’s regular gatherings, volunteer network, and information service, currently extending support to both coastal and inland towns. Anyone concerned about memory changes, supporting a loved one, or seeking to contribute to the cause is encouraged to join the effort. Due to limited availability, early contact is advised.

WhatsApp 610 774 408 serves as the direct line for forms, inquiries, and last-minute bookings in the lead-up to the September 26th challenge.
