Leonard and Erma's Legacy

Welcome to our Team Page!

Our team is raising money in support of the Alzheimer Society by participating in The Investors Group Walk for Alzheimer's.

First I would like to thank all of you for your support. It means so much to us all.

We are walking again this year in memory of Leonard DeVries, who at 84 years of age, went to be with the Lord on June 15, 2016. He left behind the love of his life Erma DeVries who continues her battle with Alzheimers.

"There is so much pain to endure when watching a loved one suffer with Alzheimers. There is the pain of perpetual greif. There is the raw wound of continual loss. There is the struggle to preserve dignity and the desire to respect the present and cling to the past. However in the midst of the heartache there is a small glimmer of light that exists to remind us of the things that Alzheimer's can't take away ... the warmth of a touch, the importance of smiles and laughter, and the knowledge of what it truely means to experience unconditional love and acceptance." "The reality of this disease is that there's no remission, there's no stopping it, there's no slowing it down, there's no cure and there are no survivors."

The Alzheimer Society 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.

Please make a donation today and help us reach our fundraising goal!

By supporting our team, 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.
