PHOTOS: PG Residents walk to find a cure for Alzheimer’s

Around 50 people flocked to the YMCA of Northern BC in Prince George for the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s.

“Most of the registration occurs day of, people see it being advertised, they want to get out, weather dependent, on a Sunday afternoon,” Gregory Campbell, Chair of the Organizing Committee.

“Early registration was in line with previous years.”

The annual walk is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the Alzheimer’s Society of BC.

“The funds raised helps the Alzheimer’s Society to deliver their programs in communities at no charge to deserving individuals who have been affected by Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia,” Campbell said.

At the time the walk started, $4,544 had been raised in Prince George with more donations coming in.

“Even if you weren’t able to make today’s walk, you can still donate,” Campbell added.
