What is the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's?

The IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's is Canada’s biggest fundraiser for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, taking place in more than 400 communities across the country. In 2019, Canadians participating in the Walk raised an amazing $6.2 million.

These funds will go toward local programs and services that improve the quality of life for people living with dementia and their families in your community-and support awareness and education about dementia.
 

Why join the Walk?

Make memories matter! When you walk, you’re sending a message of hope to Canadians living with dementia, and thousands more who care for them. When you fundraise, you’re promising them that help will always be available.

Join our Walk today! It’s fun, keeps you fit, and raises much-needed funds and awareness.

Support

Alzheimer's Societies across Canada provide programs and support services to help people with all forms of dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, in addition to assisting their caregivers and families to live as well as possible.

 Research

The Alzheimer Society is a leading Canadian funder of dementia research. Since 1989, we have invested more than $59 million in biomedical and quality-of-life research through the Alzheimer Society Research Program.

Awareness

Our mission is also to raise public awareness about Alzheimer's disease and other dementias. We are a key partner in the development of Canada’s first national dementia strategy, which will enhance research efforts and ensure access to quality care and support for all Canadians affected by dementia.
