Thank you for supporting my journey to fight Alzheimer’s disease.
Once again, this year we have committed to participating in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s - the largest event for dementia awareness in the country. The Walk supports over 200 communities nationwide, all to support the Alzheimer Society and the incredible work they do to provide help to the millions of Canadians impacted by dementia.
On Saturday, May 30, 2026, I hope you'll join me and my team for a day of unity and community, where all of us come together in support of York Region residents impacted by dementia, to uplift those who need it, and truly make a difference. With every step we take, we inspire each other to give and provide resources to the Alzheimer’s community and that together we can find a cure.
Dementia can have a significant financial impact on families – costs for people with dementia are estimated to be 5.5 times greater than for individuals who have not been diagnosed with the condition.
Right now, more than half a million Canadians are living with dementia. By 2031, this number will increase to nearly a million. Your donation will help fund the growing demand for programs and services offered through the Alzheimer Society. These services make all the difference in the way that people affected by dementia are able to manage the disease and live life to the fullest.
Thank you again for your kind and generous support.
