Trek Mount Kilimanjaro for Alzheimer's!

Take on a personal challenge and summit Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa while raising money to fight Alzheimer's.

More than 145 Canadians have literally climbed mountains in the fight against Alzheimer's, reaching for the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro as part of Ascent for Alzheimer's.  Some trek for a family member or friend with the disease, and some for a life changing challenge.

As a signature event for the Alzheimer Society of B.C., Ascent raises funds for education and services to support the more than 70,000 individuals and their families across the province who live with dementia every day.  Dollars raised also fund vital research into the causes and the cure. 

Ascent for Alzheimer's teams have more than a 90% rate for successful summit of Mount Kilimanjaro.  Learn more about what put Ascent for Alzheimer's a step above.
