To the Editor,
In January, the 14th annual Man-
ulife Walk For Memories events in
suppoi,t of services for people living
with Alzheimer's disease were held
across Huron County. •
These events would not have been
possible withoutthe tremendous
support of our sponsors, partici-
pants, volunteers, and the residents
who gave so generously towards the
funding of local Alzheimer programs
and services:
On behalf of the Alzheimer Soci-
ety of Huron County I thank each
of you for going above and beyond to
help fight Alzheimer's disease.
Over the last Aar the Alzheimer
Society of Huron County has seen.
tremendous growth in de land for.
services. We depend on events such
as the Manulife Walk for Memories
to support this growing demand.
This past January the county to-
tal for the Manulife Walk for Memo-
ries was $23,000, which is a 30 per
cent decrease from 2008. This has
been a very challenging year with
the current economic instability.
However, •we at the Huron chapter
are continuing to ftmdraise in order
to ensure Huron county residents
will continue to have access'to local
programs and services.
There are approximately 1,100
residents affected by Alzheimer's
disease and related dementia in Hu-
ron County. With every person af-
opinion?
All must be signed and ifl�IUde an address and phone
number. Letters will be edited for grammar, punctuation,
spelling, length andea -;
nt
fected by Alzheimer's disease, there
are 10. to ` 12 others in the communi-
ty who are also directly impacted.
Therefore, I am asking Huron
County residents to champion the:
fight against Alzheimer's disease,
to. take action and speak up for the
1,100_ plus people living with, Ai+
zheimer's disease in your commu-
nity.
Please be as generous as possible
as we at the Alzheimer Society work
to continue to deliver local programs
and services. We cannot do it alone.
A special thank you to the 20 in-
dividuals. who came out to walk an
raised $2,255 at the Seaforth walk.
thank. the community for their
ongoing support.
