Welcome to Barb Wherry's Participant Page
Thank you for supporting my journey to fight Alzheimer’s disease.
This year I have committed to participating in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s because the Alzheimer Society provides essential programs and services that work to effectively alleviate the personal and social consequences of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias within our community.
On Saturday, May 25, 2024, I hope you'll join me as my team and I once again walk in support of York Region residents impacted by dementia.
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. Over 650,000 Canadians live with dementia today, and that number is expected to double in 10 years as Canada’s population ages. We are all walking for someone.
Dementia is the fastest growing healthcare issue of our time. As more and more people are impacted, there is an increasing demand for Alzheimer Society programs and services - services that make all the difference in the way people are able to manage the disease and live life to the fullest.
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.
Thank you again for your kind and generous support.
