Each of the Walks is dedicated to an Honoree – a person who has been impacted by Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia.
This Investors Group Walk for Memories is dedicated to All Caregivers.
Caregivers may be spouses, children, family members or paid professionals, but they are all courageous individuals who improve quality of life for a person living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. Many caregivers provide on-going and around-the-clock care to aging family members on top of holding a job and raising children, and often to the detriment of their own health and well-being.
Despite the challenges, caregivers continue to give their time and support to people living with dementia, who might otherwise face the disease—a sometimes difficult and overwhelming experience—alone. Their decision to do so reflects the kind of person they are, showing them to be determined, empathetic and relentlessly supportive of those in need. Caregiving is an entirely invaluable act of kindness and today’s caregivers deserve our gratitude.
“You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.” - Kahlil Gibran, author and poet.
Let’s get walking Vernon - for All Caregivers and the more than 70,000 individuals and families in B.C. who are living with dementia.
