What is the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's?
The IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's is Canada's biggest fundraising event for Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.
Last year, more than 12,000 amazing Canadians walked their own way at home and in their community, raising almost $5.1 million!
These funds will go toward local programs and services that improve quality of life for people living with dementia and their families in your community and support awareness and education about dementia.
Join us on May 28th!
We are walking this weekend! See how people across Canada take part in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s! Add your voice by posting on social media with the hashtag #IGWalkforAlz!
Why join the Walk?
Make memories matter! There are many reasons to join the Walk:
1. Your support is vital
When you walk, you’re sending a message of hope to the thousands of people living with dementia in Canada, as well as the thousands more who care for them.
When you fundraise, you’re ensuring that Alzheimer Society programs and services have the funds they need to provide direct help and support for people living with dementia and their carers.
2. Dementia is the health crisis of our time
- Over 500,000 Canadians currently live with dementia. By 2031, close to a million Canadians will be diagnosed with dementia.
- The annual cost of dementia to the Canadian economy and healthcare system is over $10.4 billion
- 1 in 5 Canadians have experienced caring for someone living with dementia.
3. It's fun!
Joining the Walk is a great way to get together with friends, families and neighbours and support your community. And it keeps you fit and raises much-needed funds and awareness!
