Welcome to my fundraising page! On Sunday, May 26th, I am participating in the Walk for Alzheimer's at Polson Park. A number of years ago my mother contracted Alzheimer's. It was a difficult disease to diagnose, and my father struggled with mom for many months before the diagnoses came through. Dad spent the next few years caring for her at home, slowly watching her personality fade, this woman he had spent more than 45 years with. He was the most caring man I have ever known. This was in the late 90's, and I am now going through a similar process with my husband. He has primary progressive MS which affects both the body and ultimately the mind. I see his cognitive function declining and it breaks my heart.

On Sunday, May 26 I am participating in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's, presented by Go Auto, raising awareness and funds in support of the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s programs and services, as well as enabling dementia research.
The Walk is the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s largest fundraising event, hosted in more than 20 communities across the province and a way to honour and remember people affected by dementia.
There are currently an estimated 85,000 people living with dementia in B.C. and nearly half a million across the country. This number is expected to double in the next 15 years.
With your help, the Alzheimer Society of B.C. can continue its vital work supporting people living with dementia, their caregivers and their families.
Please consider donating in support of my walk.
