CHeBA Fitness Ambassor Hailey Maxwell, sees her role as making people "aware how important exercise is not only for physical health but for the quality of life as you grow older".
She supports the CHeBA's Professor Perminder Sachdev's view that "about half the risk of dementia is related to lifestyle factors, and exercise may be the most important protective factor for ageing brains".
So far Ms Maxwell has raised $10,750 for CHeBA to become its second-highest individual fund-raiser.
Professors Henry Brodaty and Perminder Sachdev are running alongside Ms Maxwell in the Sun-Herald City2Surf on August 10, 2014.
