Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease have touched our families in many ways, making this cause incredibly personal to us.

We are walking for Jack Coumont. Jack is one of the strongest people we know, strong, funny, and hardworking. He loves country music, a good beer, and spending time with the people he loves. Since suffering a mini stroke in 2021, he has been living with dementia. Despite the many challenges he faces, he continues to fight every single day with remarkable strength, resilience, and heart.

We are also walking to honour the memory of Betty Coleman, Kent Coleman, Hilda Walton, James Arthur Walton, and Wilfred Kehler. Each of them bravely battled forms of dementia and has since passed on, but their memories and the love they shared continue to live on in our hearts.

We walk for our loved ones, for the families and caregivers who support them, and for everyone whose lives have been impacted by dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.

On Sunday, May 31, we will be participating in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s, the Alzheimer Society of BC and Yukon’s largest fundraising event. Funds raised help provide essential programs, education, support services, and critical research for the more than 85,000 British Columbians living with dementia and the people who care for them.

We are passionate about raising awareness, supporting families, and contributing to the search for better treatments and, one day, a cure.

We would love to have you join our team and walk alongside us on May 31. Whether you choose to walk, donate, or share our page, your support means so much to us and our families.

Thank you for supporting our team and this cause that is so close to our hearts.
