Alzheimer Society of BC
"Being diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease is a reminder to live every day as fully as I can—for me that means staying active, challenging my brain, and engaging with the people and things I love."
Elaine Wright, diagnosed with early stage Alzheimer's disease
The Alzheimer Society of B.C. is transforming the way we all live with and challenge Alzheimer's disease and dementia—one donation at a time.
This is your chance to make a difference for the more than 64,000 individuals and families in British Columbia who are living with dementia, and the growing number of people concerned about memory loss who want to age well.
Every dollar you raise for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. ensures people affected by the disease can connect to a community of information, services and support. We also fund research as we continue to search for the cure.
Approximately 14,000 British Columbians develop dementia each year, a number that is increasing as the baby boomer generation ages.
Growing evidence shows a strong connection between healthy living and healthy brains. It's never too soon, or too late to make simple lifestyle changes that will maintain or improve your brain health, changes that may also help reduce your risk of developing Alzheimer's disease.
Register today for the Alzheimer Society of B.C. team.
Take action for a healthy brain and walk or run in support of the Alzheimer Society of B.C.—you're changing the future of dementia and committing to a healthier lifestyle!
