Alzheimer’s Walk Continues for Month of May

Provincial goal set for 240,000 steps

 

Throughout the month of May, the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s is taking place in Perth County and across the country.

Residents can get involved by registering and to get moving while collecting support for local programs.

Sherri Gilhula, First Link and Education Coordinator for the Alzheimer’s Society of Perth County says these programs are very important but also need much support.

“They are the programs who don’t receive funding. For us to keep them going we need to fundraise. So that’s our goal this year.” says Gilhula

Gilhula adding the province has set a challenge for everyone on their walks

“Our provincial association has issued a challenge to try and walk 240,000 steps this month. It’s one step for every person living with Alzheimers Disease in Ontario”
