The Walk for Alzheimer’s is the biggest fundraiser for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

Monies raised support programs and services in our community that improve the quality of life for people living with dementia and their families, and support other activities like education and public awareness.

When you walk, you make memories matter. You send a message of hope to Canadians currently living with dementia, and thousands more who care for them. When you fundraise, you promise them that help will always be available.

Join our Walk today for fun, fitness and raising much-needed funds and awareness. Bring a photo of your loved one to add to our Wall of Memories.
