BCCPA and EngAge BC are throwing our enthusiastic support for people affected by dementia at the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s. The Walk is the Alzheimer Society of B.C.’s flagship fundraiser and in 2021 participants are encouraged to walk their own way throughout the month of May, before joining an online celebration at 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 30.
Getting involved is easy. Throughout the month of May, participants can set themselves a challenge – like walking, running or dancing – while fundraising to support people living with the disease and their care partners. Participants are encouraged to get creative and do what works for them, just as long as their plans adhere to current provincial health guidelines.
“Along with SafeCare BC, BC Care Providers Association has put together an IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s team. We will be walking to raise funds for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. and show our support for all of the people living with dementia who our members care for each day,” says Terry Lake, BCCPA and EngAge BC CEO.
Together, we can celebrate and remember people in our lives who have been affected by dementia, while raising valuable funds and awareness. Now, more than ever, people affected by dementia need our support.
Funds raised at the Walk will support local Alzheimer Society of B.C. programs and services and will also help enable research into the causes of and the cure for the disease.
