People living with dementia and their caregivers count on the Alzheimer Society of Muskoka for support as they navigate the disease. This year the Alzheimer Society of Muskoka relies on you to join us for our annual in virtual IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s on Sunday May 29th, 2022
The number of people living with dementia rising each year and projected to reach more than 900,000 by 2030, the need for more support to advocate on behalf of those living with dementia and their caregivers is greater than ever.
While the pandemic negatively impacted so many services across the country last year, you showed your support by joining our walk, raising crucial funds that allowed us to shift many of our services online, continuing to meet the needs of people living with dementia and their caregivers in Muskoka and Parry Sound. But more funds are needed to meet the growing demand for life-changing support, including counselling, day programs for people living with dementia and respite for caregivers.
Starting in May, you can complete your challenge in any way that you choose—in one day, in one week, or over the whole month! This challenge is for everyone, so make sure to get your friends and family involved and MOVE YOUR WAY by walking, cycling, swimming, canoeing, running, doing yoga,baking or however you choose!
“We all know someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. Join the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s and raise money to provide life-changing programs
and services for families in Muskoka and Parry Sound.” says Karen Quemby, Executive Director, at the Alzheimer Society of Muskoka.

They know all too well the impact that Alzheimer’s and dementia can have on a family, not only personally but through the people we work with. “Alzheimer’s is emotionally challenging but can also have a financial impact that can put a severe strain on families. We are here to help.” says Chris Etherington. “We are proud supporters of the largest fundraiser for the Alzheimer’s Society. In 2021 the walk raised more than $5 million dollars across Canada! We are looking
forward to walking in 2022”
