The Kiltwalk is a unique and fun way to raise money for a charity that you care about, while being part of a huge event for all ages.
Take on 23, 14 or 3 miles to help us raise funds to reach even more people affected by dementia. 100% of funds raised will go directly to supporting our work, plus any Gift Aid contributions.
If you’d like to walk for Playlist for Life at any of this year’s events, please register your interest below. We have a limited number of free registrations available for fundraisers, so you’ll have to be quick!
Stacey is taking on the Kiltwalk in 2027 for her gran
If you knew my gran before her dementia diagnosis, you would know she was the life and soul of the party. Growing up, I have so many memories of dancing with my gran. She was never one to turn down a dance or a singalong. Whether she was out enjoying dinner dances with my papa and her friends or simply enjoying music, she was always first to get up and have a dance.
Since my gran’s dementia diagnosis, music has continued to play such a special and powerful part in her life.
There is something truly special about watching my gran dance when her favourite music comes on. In those moments, I feel like I have my gran back. For a little while, I get to see that familiar sparkle, that happiness and the woman who has always loved to dance.
Dementia may affect her memory, but music reaches a part of her that words sometimes cannot. She might not always remember certain people, places or moments, but she will never forget the feeling of music.
Since moving into her care home, the care assistants have told us that my gran is always one of the first up to sing and dance. Hearing this fills my heart because it reminds me that, despite everything dementia has taken from her, her love for music is still there.
This is why I have chosen Playlist for Life as my chosen charity. They believe in the power of personal music to help people living with dementia, and this is something I have witnessed first-hand through my gran.”
