Re: Tweeting his memories in real time, Jan. 5.
To everyone who helped make the 2012 Investors Group Walk for Memories a success, you’ve helped make a difference for people in our community who are living with dementia.
We raised more than $53,000 at our local event and over $690,000 province-wide to support the work of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. This exceeded our provincial record-breaking totals from last year!
Funds raised help people have the skills to maintain quality of life and support research into the causes, more effective treatments and a cure.
Back in mid-January, I wrote and asked people in our communities to get off the couch and join our fundraising walk to help find a cure.
As a person traveling the journey with Alzheimer’s disease, I thank you for listening!
