Welcome to Meghie's Participant Page
Thank you for supporting my journey to fight Alzheimer’s disease.
This year I have committed to participating in the Walk for Alzheimer’s because I have seen how this disease has affected my grandma. My grandma Helen is 94 years old and up until a few months ago she has been able to live independently. In March, her condition suddenly declined and she now has to live in my home with my family and I. This disease takes over not only the person who has the disease's life, but also the life of their family. The Alzheimer Society provides support to the people with Alzheimer's disease and their families.
By making a donation to me, you are helping the Alzheimer Society to continue its important work towards a world without Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
I am pledging to walk 9,000 steps per day every day in May. I am taking one step for every person in Sarnia-Lambton affected by Alzheimers or other dementias. For every one person diagnosed, minimally two other people are affected.
Thank you again for your kind and generous support. Please join me this May and we can walk together, even if we're apart.
