All the latest news and stories about Alzheimer's disease, dementia, and the brain.

Starting this Tuesday, July 21, the Climb will be running throughout the summer until Monday, September 21, 2020 – World Alzheimer’s Day. We’re calling on the province to come together and climb or hike trails across B.C. to raise funds in support of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. and to show that the thousands of people affected by dementia don’t need to make the journey alone.

The world of running and challenge events, like everything else, has experienced dramatic changes this year. Physical distancing protocols have seen running events from across the world postponed, cancelled or adapted to become virtual events.

Learn to step out of frantic task completion into more genuine moments of living, and work towards building resilience on the dementia journey – all from the comfort of your living room!

During this time of increased isolation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many people living with dementia and the people who care for them are disconnected from support networks and facing unexpected challenges.

Now and in the coming weeks, caregivers and people living with dementia will share their everyday challenges and successes as a part of our Dementia in the days of COVID-19 series.
