Hello dear family and friends.  Please support me in my journey to fight dementia. As most of you know, my mother recently passed away in January after a violent ending with her Alzheimer's disease.  At the end, she lost her ability to swallow and cough and thankfully she no longer has to struggle for every breath or search for the words she couldn't recall.  With dimentia, you lose your loved ones not once, but twice.  Once when they lose their mind and then again when the body gives out.  It is very difficult and heart wrenching to watch and support, but you know deep down they still know who you are - I am convinced of this!!!
 
This year I have committed to participating in The IG Wealth Management Online Walk for Alzheimer’s because the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba provides essential programs and services that work to effectively alleviate the personal and social consequences of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias within our community. The Alzheimer Society is such a tremendous support and does amazing work to make the journey smoother. This years walk is once again at Assiniboine Park and Katelyn and I have committed to walk 5 km in my mom's memory to raise awareness and funds for this special cause.
 
By making a donation to me, you are helping the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba to continue its important work towards a world without Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.

Thank you again for your kind and generous support.  Let's all work together to find a cure for this devastating and scarey disease.

Sarah
