I walk to support the Alzheimer Society of Toronto and to honour the memory of my dear friend, Fern Cohen... and for all the good work the Society does in providing support for people living with dementia, their caregivers and friends and families.

I walk for Alzheimer's to honour several of my family members that have had dementia, most especially my mom. The Alzheimer's Society was there to provide programs and essential guidance. I walk to remember my mom, to help ensure that others receive this indispensable assistance, and to show my gratitude to the Alzheimer's Society for all that they do. This is a legacy that I’m passing on to my children.

I walk to honour my mother, Margaret Boyd, who faced her journey with dementia with grace, dignity and acceptance. As her care partner I found invaluable support from our Alzheimer Society; the support group and the education series. Now I volunteer as a support group facilitator and raise funds through the Walk.

My family and I have been walking since 2014 in loving memory and honor of My Mom, Glenna Jones. We keep her memory alive through the walk and we love to support this cause that makes a difference in the lives of families who are affected by this disease. We know she is with us when we walk and is proud of us for doing this for her.
