Save the date: 2014 Walk & Run
As a first step towards acceptance of the changes in my husband [after his diagnosis] I made a phone call to the Alzheimer’s Society of Calgary to sign up for a course.

10:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
If you, or someone you know, has been impacted by Alzheimer's disease or related dementias, or if you simply like to get outdoors and support a great cause - consider joining us!
Welcome to the annual Investors Group Thanksgiving Memory Walk and Run. Nearly 1,700 people came together last year to raise critical funds for the cause and improve quality of life for Calgary families - and a record $300,000+ was donated by generous members of the community. All pledges and donations go directly to providing education, care and support for local people impacted by the disease.
This is where community, insight and empowerment begin. And your efforts make a huge difference.
