The Walk is the largest annual fundraising event for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. and provides an opportunity for communities to take action to change the future for the over 85,000 British Columbians living with dementia and the people who care for them. The event is also an opportunity for us to honour and remember the people in our lives who have been affected by Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia.
Funds raised at the Walk will help provide programs and services for families on the dementia journey, providing the support they need to maintain the best possible quality of life throughout the progression of their journey, and enable critical research to change the future of the disease. We couldn’t do this work without the generous efforts of our fundraisers and donors!
Walk Patron – Have your donation matched up to $10,000!
