Walk for Alzheimer’s<br />
National Volunteer Week at the end of April provides an<br />
opportunity to recognize the key role volunteers play in Nelson<br />
and other communities around the province.<br />
This is especially true of the Alzheimer Society of BC’s flagship<br />
fundraiser, the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s.<br />
Every year, volunteer committees <strong>–</strong> including one in<br />
Nelson <strong>–</strong> organize, promote, fundraise and build awareness<br />
of the Walk and the cause. It is because of their commitment<br />
and passion that the Alzheimer Society can run this successful<br />
event to support crucial programs and services for British<br />
Columbians affected by dementia.<br />
“We are so grateful to all the volunteers who help with the<br />
Walk. Every year, we are deeply impressed by the generosity<br />
and dedication they display when it comes to supporting<br />
British Columbians on the dementia journey,” says Cathryn<br />
France, Director of Resource Development at the Alzheimer<br />
Society of BC. “Our volunteers are the main force behind our<br />
event. They raise awareness about the disease and they help us<br />
make a difference in the lives of people affected by dementia.”<br />
