Due to pandemic-related gathering restrictions, the 2021 event will be a Walk Your Own Way initiative, meaning anyone anywhere in the province can take part.
“This past year has been full of unprecedented challenges, particularly for people living with dementia and their care partners,” Alzheimer Society of B.C. interim CEO Barbara Lindsay said. “Fundraisers like the walk help enable the Society to continue providing support and resources, which are needed more than ever.”
Throughout May, area residents can set themselves a challenge — such as walking, running or dancing — while fundraising to support people living with the disease and their care partners. An online celebration on Sunday, May 30 will end the month of activity.
