On May 30, 2026, I will be joining the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s at Orchard Pavilion in Downsview Park to support the more than 50,000 Torontonians living with dementia.
I'm raising funds to honour my mum, Margaret Spedding, who will turn 100 years old on July 2nd - just 6 weeks away! She was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when she was 79, so its been a long journey for her and our family.
This is my 4th year walking for my mum, and I have set a goal of $5,000 again this year. I will personally match every dollar you donate to me up to the 5k amount, as I did last year. I have the privilege of seeing the incredible work of our staff here at AST first hand, and they are the most dedicated and caring people I have ever had the pleasure to work with.
The number of people diagnosed with dementia is rising rapidly and the demand for our specialized programs and services is growing every day. By donating to my goal, you are directly supporting those impacted by dementia and ensuring no one has to navigate this journey alone.
Your generosity provides a lifeline for caregivers and families across the city. Please click the yellow Donate button to contribute today.
Thank you for your commitment to creating a dementia-friendly Toronto.
