Walk for Alzheimer's IL Bea voice for change and fundraise for Alzheimer's and other dementias Three out of four Cana- dians know someone with dementia. It touches so many homes in every community. But four out four Canadians can take action. What can you do? Sign up for your local Walk for Alz- heimer's in Huron County on Saturday, May 13. This is the Society's big- gest fundraiser for Alzhei- mer's disease and other forms of dementia. All monies raised stay in your community where they're needed most. When you join a Walk, you will be supporting free and minimal cost programs • and services that help peo- ple with dementia and their caregivers live better today. The Walk for Alzhei- mer's will feature outdoor routes in Clinton at the Betty. Cardno Memorial Centre, Exeter at the South Huron District High School and Wingham at the Maitland River Com- munity Church. Registration will start at 9atn, with the walk to begin at loam. This is an event for all ages, with routes of varying lengths, you can select your own personal goal; no walk is too short to show your support. Families who have been faced with the challenges of dementia will be honoured at each location: the Sage family in Clinton, the Taylor family in Exeter and the Perron family in Wmgham. "It's all about commu- nity and bringing people together who are affected by this hard reality. No one's alone through this journey and the Walk for Alzheimer's is the perfect venue to voice that out loud," says Cathy Ritsema, Executive Director. "We are appealing for the whole community to come together as we take our next steps forward to tackle dementia."
