Thank you for supporting me in raising awareness and funds that will make a difference in the lives of people living with dementia, their caregivers and families.
I’m participating in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s in Vancouver on May 31 to help raise money on behalf of the Alzheimer Society, so they can meet the growing demand for programs and services. These and other resources make all the difference in the way that people affected by dementia are able to manage the disease and live life to the fullest.

About the Walk
The IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s, presented by Go Auto, is the Alzheimer Society of BC and Yukon's largest fundraising event, seeing participants in communities across the province walk together to raise funds and awareness and honour people affected by dementia. The Walk provides an opportunity for communities to take action to change the future for the more than 85,000 British Columbians living with dementia and the people who care for them.
Funds raised will help provide in-person and virtual programs, services and education for families on the dementia journey, providing the support they need to maintain the best possible quality of life throughout the progression of the disease, as well as enabling critical research to change the future of the disease. We couldn’t do this work without the generous efforts of our fundraisers and donors!
Join more than 2,000 fellow British Columbians on Sunday, May 31, 2026 to show people living with dementia, as well as their families and caregivers, they don’t have to walk the journey alone.
Hopefully see you there!
