Spokesperson Liz McLeod explains this is the biggest fundraiser for the organization with the proceeds going towards research as well as programs and services.

She explains how it works is people are just encouraged to do any activity that they want to do throughout the month of May as many times as they would like to do it so whether that’s walking every day, going for a run once a week, walking your dog, whatever and doing it in kind of a thoughtful purposeful way to promote awareness of dementia, Alzheimer’s and other brain based disorders.

McLeod invites people interested in taking part to visit www.walkforalzheimer.ca  to register and learn more.
