Memory Walk 2014

As you can see by the photo, we had wonderful sunshine for the Alzheimer Memory Walk this year. Not everyone that walked with us that day is in the group photo but what a great photograph! We had Julie & Brian, Roger Seier from Home Office, caregivers and their families and client families also.

It was a great day and so much fun. There were more than 1,000 people at The Forks that day to create awareness and to support people with dementia. We all enjoyed the great weather, magnificent entertainment and amazing energy of all the people involved.

Brian and the other band members of Vox Phantom entertained us after the walk and it was incredible!

Thank you to everyone that supported us in our efforts for the Investors Group Memory Walk 2014!

Memory Walk 2014

We are gearing up to walk for The Alzheimer Society of Manitoba this year. Last year we had 78 walkers and raised $6300.00! This year we are hoping to raise $8000.00 and 100 team members. Feel free to join our team...anyone can join us! Or if you are unable to walk with us you can visit our page to make a donation. The Winnipeg walk is held at The Scotia Stage at The Forks, registration and food from 5 pm to 6 pm on Thursday, June 12, 2014. We'd love to see you there!

 

What a fantastic day for a walk around The Forks we had last year! Sylvia our Community Service Representative and Jeannette one of our wonderful CAREGivers still smiling after the walk.

Did you know that according to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba,

"It is projected that over the next 30 years the number of people living with dementia will almost double, further increasing the demand for supportive programs and services. It is essential that events like our annual Memory Walk are successful to allow us to meet the growing demands for our programs and services for Manitobans."
