Thanks for walking Vernon. To everyone who helped make the 2011 Investors Group Walk for Memories a success, you’ve helped make a difference for people in our community who are living with Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia.
Through our event and 19 others held around the province on Jan. 30, we’ve raised more than $630,000 – and counting – to support the work of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. This amount exceeds our record-breaking totals from last year.
Funds raised help people who are impacted by the disease have the confidence and skills to maintain quality of life, and support research into the causes, more effective treatments and a cure.
Special thanks to our dedicated volunteer committee for the countless hours each of you has contributed, and to the Wilde family for sharing their journey through this disease with our community.
I’d also like to thank our local office of Investors Group, our media and local sponsors, and a very special thank you for the groups who provided services and entertainment.
We’ll see you in 2012. Visit www.walkformemories.com for information.
