On Saturday, May 30th, I’ll be participating in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s in Ajax, joining hundreds of others as we walk with purpose, with heart, and with hope.
This year, I walk in loving memory of my father, who passed away 25 years ago. When our family was navigating his diagnosis, the Alzheimer Society of Durham Region was a lifeline—offering education, support, and compassion at a time when we needed it most.
Sadly, since that time, more friends and family have faced the challenges of this devastating disease. That’s why I’m following in my sister’s footsteps and proudly joining her team, The Memory Keepers, to continue supporting the vital work the Society does for families like ours.
Why This Walk Matters
Every step we take helps ensure that no one in Durham Region faces dementia alone. With your support, the Alzheimer Society can continue to offer:
- Caregiver support and counselling
- Public educations & workshops
- Community programs for people living with dementia
- Resources for navigating the journey ahead
By donating or joining our team, you're helping create a future filled with more understanding, compassion, and support for those affected.
Join Us or Donate
Whether you can walk with us or support from afar, your contribution matters.
Together, we can make a difference—step by step, memory by memory.
“Alzheimer’s might take away the memory, but it can’t erase the love.”
Thank you for reading, supporting, and standing with families facing dementia. Whether you give, walk, or share this message, you are part of something powerful.
