January is Alzheimer’s awareness month and every year the Alzheimer’s Society of Hastings Prince Edward hold a Walk for Alzheimer’s event to help raise funds and awareness about Alzheimer’s and dementia.
This year’s event is going to be a little bit different. Those interested in participating will be able to walk their own route. Whether that is in town, snowshoeing a favourite trail or even ice skating around a homemade hockey rink, participants are encouraged to find what works best for them while physically and socially distancing. This year a grand prize draw will be held that is open to anyone who raised $25 or more. For each $25 raised, the participant’s name will be entered into the draw.
