What a wonderful opportunity to come together!

This year again, the event, bringing together more than 200 participants, will be held in the parking lot behind Galeries Aylmer; registration starts at 8:30 a.m.
The 3.5 km walk (round trip) will begin at 10 a.m., heading to Parc de l'Imaginaire at the Aylmer Marina.

For those who would like to participate in the rally but do not wish to walk, various play activities will be organized on site.

All participants will meet at 11:30 a.m. behind Galeries Aylmer for the final performances, the door prize draw, and the announcement of the fundraising results.

This year, come up with a unique name and register as a team, with family, or with friends. Wear distinctive colors and then record a short video to share on our social media. All teams registered before April 30 will have a chance to win a $100 Jean Coutu gift card.

Thanks to your unwavering support, we have raised over $50 million in Canada over the past ten years. The funds raised provide people living with Alzheimer's or other neurocognitive disorders with crucial access to information resources, services, and social programs such as therapeutic support, respite care, and support groups.

More than 650,000 people currently live in Canada with neurocognitive disorders, including 170,000 in Quebec alone. It is projected that this number will reach 1 million in Canada by 2030. It is estimated that in Quebec, more than 95,000 caregivers provide more than 2 million hours of care per week. Your support is essential to ensure that these individuals and their loved ones have access to the necessary resources in their region.

In the Outaouais region, 21,000 people are directly or indirectly affected by Alzheimer's disease or a neurocognitive disorder. In addition to the many families already served by our organization, we currently receive more than 850 new requests for support each year.

We hope you will join us, and we will provide you with more details in the coming months. We look forward to seeing you on Sunday, May 25, 2025!
