WILL YOU PLEASE WALK WITH US AGAIN?
There are almost 10,000 residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia in Simcoe County.
The annual IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s raises over half of the funding needed. Without this important revenue the Alzheimer’s Society’s programs could be at risk for the first time ever.
THIS YEAR THE WALK IS GOING VIRTUAL!
How it works:
On Sunday, May 31st, the Alzheimer Society of Canada will broadcast the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s live online at NOON EST. In every community, in every province, someone will be walking for someone they love living with Alzheimer’s or other form of dementia or in memory of someone they’ve lost.
1. Register! Make sure you register for the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s. You will receive emails weekly with activations to participate in. Register here!
2. Share & Engage! Once you’ve registered, start making a move! Follow all Alzheimer Society of Simcoe County social media pages and start sharing your favourite content to your personal social media channels using the hashtags #IGWalkForAlz, #IWalkForAlz, and #alzheimersimcoe. Be sure to tag your friends and family too!
3. More Sharing! Participate in all activations and tag your social network! Because this is an online event, our reach will be through Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Share and tag!!
4. Participate! Bring your own personal touch to the Walk by sharing your own content! Make a video of you walking around your block explaining who you’re walking for, create your own social media challenge, participate in our online activations each week, or even share messages of support in your window at home for your community to see.
5. Give Back! Encourage your friends, family members, neighbours, or others in your social circle to register for this year’s Simcoe County virtual #IGWalkForAlz and participate in raising awareness and support for people living with dementia, their families, and care partners.
To support you or your team they can go to our website here to donate.
On May 31st you and your teammates can walk your own way yet virtually together – up a hill, around the block, up and down stairs, on the treadmill. Walk with us how ever and where ever you want!
Please practice safe steps – keep physical distance!
Thank you in advance! We welcome and appreciate any support you can give!
