Over 600,000 Canadians currently live with dementia. By 2050, nearly 2 million people living in Canada could be living with dementia.

Since 2015, the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s has raised over $41 million for people living with dementia and their care partners. Thank you for making a difference!

If the onset of dementia could be delayed by 10 years, over 4 million new cases of dementia could be avoided by 2050.

Why I Walk for Alzheimer's:
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.

Anne Treschak
Years Involved: 19
Location: Niagara
Why I Walk for Alzheimer's:
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.

Dominic Boyd

Why I Walk for Alzheimer's:
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.
