So when her mother was diagnosed with dementia and her health began to deteriorate, Annia put one foot in front of the other.

In 2017 she walked from Hobart to Launceston, and raised funds to help launch a personalised iPod program for dementia residents in Devonport.

After witnessing the profound effect music can have on dementia patients, she's doing it again - this time, walking from Hobart to St Helens.

"My mum's condition may be deteriorating, but in the moments we sing together and share music, she lights up and her true nature glows brighter than ever," Ms Baron said.

"I cherish these moments dearly and even though she may not remember them, I know they mean the world to her too."

Ms Baron will perform at the Festival of Voices in Hobart on July 10, which will mark the beginning of her long mid-winter journey.

She has set a fundraising goal of $2000, which will go towards music programs in aged care facilities for people with dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

"As a musician and performer, I am humbled to share music with others and know the healing power it has in helping us through difficult times," she said.

"It has the power to bring us together, to create connection and meaning, and remind us that we're not alone.

"I want to keep turning the madness of dementia and Alzheimer's disease into something more hopeful and joyful for others."
