Each of the Walks is dedicated to an Honouree – a person who has been impacted by Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia.

This Investors Group Walk for Memories is dedicated to Joan Laughton.

Joan Laughton grew up in Nova Scotia and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force as a meteorologist. After several years she resigned and traveled west across the country ending up in Nelson, B.C. where she met and married Ivan.

A wonderful mother and wife, Joan was a natural leader who was always ready to lend a helping hand.  

Joan was devoted to her church, and as a breast cancer survivor became actively involved in cancer fundraising and counseling patients living with cancer. As the director at Jubilee Manor, a long-term care facility, Joan was dedicated to making the facility an excellent environment for seniors and staff alike.

“Alzheimer’s is a difficult disease to accept, especially when it involves your spouse and soul mate,” said Ivan. “The Society’s caregiver support group in Nelson was helpful for me; sharing my grief with others softened the blow when Joan passed away on May 31 of this year.”

This is your opportunity to honour Joan’s memory and show you care.

Let’s get walking Nelson—for Joan and Ivan and the 70,000 individuals and families in B.C. who are living with dementia.
