Walk forMemories to Make a Difference For Families Living With Dementia
WALK FOR MEMORIES, Ottawa’s premier indoor fundraising walk, is the flagship fundraising event for the Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County. Fun for the entire family, it will be held on Sunday, January 25, 2015 in the Carleton University Fieldhouse. Registration starts at 8 a.m. with the Walk starting at 9 a.m. and the event ending by noon.
The goal this year as the WALK FOR MEMORIES celebrates 20 great years in Ottawa is $275,000. Proceeds raised stay in the local community to help families living with dementia. The Alzheimer Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County provides support, education and resources for people with dementia, as well as their families and caregivers.
Form a team, or come out as an individual and join in the fun. Ask your family, friends and colleagues to join you, or to sponsor your Walk. To register, go to www.walkformemories.ca. For more information, visit www.alzheimer.ca/ottawa or contact thicks@asorc.org or phone 613-369-5627.
The WALK FOR MEMORIES is a great opportunity to make a difference. Dementia is difficult, but this event is something positive we can all do to reach out and help. Who are YOU walking for?
