IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s

We’ve learned a lot about online events and bringing people together from afar over the past couple of years. When it came time for the 2021 IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s, we were ready to rally our Walkers for an online event: Walk Your Way in May! Walkers chose their own day throughout the month of May to head out and do their walk, their way. We came together online from across the country at the end of the month for a wrap-up broadcast celebration. Even without an in-person event, our people showed up and showed their support! With 220 Walkers across 40 teams, we raised nearly $140,000 to support Nova Scotians living with dementia.

Our top fundraising team, Making Strides, was led by a dedicated volunteer and former board member, Marjorie Sullivan. When asked about why she Walks, she said: “ “ The Walk is a wonderful opportunity to bring family and friends together to remember and honour family members we have lost to this terrible disease, and to support family and community members currently living with it. No one should have to face this journey alone. Our fundraising efforts are driven by the hope that we can help people with Alzheimer’s right now and, through research, look to a future without Alzheimer’s.

Thank you to everyone who has continued to support our biggest annual event, and we hope to see you in person in 2023!
