Hi!

As you know through my annual updates, this is my 6th year participating in the Walk, and I have raised over $5,000 in those years, thanks to YOUR help! Thank you very much, I appreciate your support year after year.  

This year, you’ll find me volunteering at the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s in Truro on Saturday, May 24th at 3:00 p.m. I’ll be there because dementia is the fastest growing healthcare issue of our time. This past year, I have personally witnessed several of my close friends supporting loved ones with dementia. I know many of you have too. The need is real and there is lots of work to do. Please help however you can.

A few important points about the Society - it supports people with ALL dementias, not just Alzheimers. Most of the programs offered are accessible anywhere, anytime directly from the website. There are tips on how YOU can increase your own brain health as well - things like being physically AND socially active, eating a healthy diet you enjoy, managing stress, and challenging your brain are just some of the ways.

Thank you for listening, and thank you for your support, you are making a difference in the lives of people affected by dementia in Nova Scotia. 

With my sincere gratitude and thanks.

Kerrie
