On Sunday, May 31 I am participating in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's, presented by Go Auto, raising awareness and funds in support of the programs and services provided by the Alzheimer Society of B.C. and Yukon, as well as enabling dementia research.

Many of you know that I have participated in the walk for the last number of years as I lost my father to Alzheimer's disease in 2017 after he had a lengthy struggle with the illness.  Our family was greatly affected by my father's journey and we learned that the support offered by the Alzheimer Society of B.C. and Yukon's programs and the research they fund is so important to help others on this journey.  

The Walk is the Alzheimer Society'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. and Yukon can continue its vital work supporting people living with dementia, their caregivers and their families.

Please consider donating in support of my walk.
