Today, over 650,000 Canadians live with dementia and that number is expected to rise to 1 million by 2030.
We need your continued support to ensure that people living with dementia, and those who love and care for them, have the resources they need, close to home here in Grey-Bruce.
While it is often thought of as an ‘old’ person’s disease, it has been proven that is not the case as it can also strike those who are in their middle years.
Losing someone into the abyss of what becomes complete memory loss is painful for the family as they see their loved one lose recognition of those they once held dear.
How to Participate:
1. Register online to start fundraising for local families living with dementia and hear updates as they become available
2. Invite your friends and family to join your team, or support local families living with dementia by making a donation to the Walk.
3. Celebrate on Saturday, May 24 – JOIN US for refreshments, PRIZES and FUN!
4. Share your celebrations on Social Media and tag us @alzheimergreybruce
5. Fundraise more than $150.00 per person or $600.00 for your team, to receive your complimentary tee shirt/s.
Funds raised support local programs delivered by Alzheimer Societies across Canada, providing essential services for those impacted by dementia. With more than 700,000 Canadians currently living with dementia—and nearly one million projected by 2030—the need is urgent.
Hosted by IG Wealth Management across Canada, the company and its consultants have raised more than $41 million over the years.
