The event took place in Painshill Park in Surrey, close to where Ruth lives in the marital home she once shared with Eamonn.
Ruth is an ambassador for the charity, having lost her dad Dennis to dementia in 2012, and takes part in the Memory Walk every year.
After addressing the crowd, she mingled with fellow participators and posed for snaps with fans.
And while she still sported the rock she has continued to wear since separating from Eamonn, Ruth didn’t show any signs of being upset after snaps emerged of her ex touching new partner, Katie Alexander’s bottom whole on holiday.
The TV legend, 64, slapped his hand on the 42 year old’s rear after disembarking from a Virgin cruise ship in Ibiza.
The loved-up couple were all dressed up for the evening, with Eamonn in a blazer and shirt while Katie sported a black mini dress and designer heels.
After taking selfies with fans, Katie helped her man in his wheelchair while he pulled her close.
The pair then joined some friends were they dined at a plush restaurant with a £500 menu.
Insiders recently told Mail Online that Ruth was left was shocked by the holiday, despite doing her best not to show it in public.
The Sun revealed earlier this week that things are going so well between Eamonn and Katie, they are planning to move in together.
A source close to relationship counsellor Katie told The Sun: “Katie’s assured him she’s in it for the long haul and they’re both settling down nicely.
“They’ve been spending so much time at his Kingston flat that they’re even looking to move in together permanently.
“Eamonn doesn’t want to stay in his rented place as it’s too small, too expensive and, without air conditioning, gets very hot.
“It’s on the basement floor as well, with people looking in as they walk past all the time so isn’t private enough for them.

“With that in mind, they’re really keen to move into a bigger place in the country with lots of land.
“Katie will obviously be there to care for Eamonn as he grows older and thinks it’s best to do that somewhere without prying eyes.”
