Editor:
At the end of the month-long Alzheimer’s Awareness Month campaign – “I live with dementia. Let me help you understand” – the Alzheimer Society of B.C. thanks the people of Sechelt and the rest of the Sunshine Coast for the role they have played in challenging the stigma that surrounds dementia.
Though Alzheimer’s Awareness Month ends with January, the work isn’t finished. We hope people will remain committed to changing the conversation about dementia throughout the year ahead. One way is by registering and fundraising for the annual IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s, happening this year on Sunday, May 3.
The event celebrates and remembers the people in our lives who have been affected by dementia and raises funds to help the Alzheimer Society of B.C. change the future of the disease and those affected by it. Events will take place in 22 communities across the province. To find one near you, visit www.walkforalzheimers.ca.
