Welcome to my Participant Page!
Last fall, I once again participated as a volunteer in the Alzheimer Society of Muskoka's "In-Home Recreation Programme". Each week, I visited with a client who suffers from dementia, providing activities to entertain and engage the client while also providing much needed respite for the individual's caregiver. We went for walks, baked cookies, played games, wrote Christmas cards, looked at old photo albums and even made dinner one afternoon. It was a challenging and enriching time for the three of us.
Having spent the last three months wintering in Estero, Florida, it is now almost time for the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's again. This year I am going to be travelling when the event takes place in Bracebridge on May 25th and in Huntsville on May 26th. Knowing that this is the largest fundraising event for dementia in Canada, I didn't want to miss the opportunity to do what I can to support this worthy cause. I have decided to walk on my own in Beaumaris sometime between now and May 18th when I leave for my trip.
I sincerely hope you will help me in my goal to raise funds for people living with dementia in Muskoka and Parry Sound. Projections show that by 2050 the number of Canadians living with Alzheimer's disease will triple from 650,000 to over 1.7 million people. The time to act is now. Many of us have been touched by dementia in some way, whether through a family member, friend or colleague. The Walk for Alzheimer's provides a platform to honour their memory, show solidarity, and connect with those facing the challenges of this disease.
