This May, we’re challenging YOU to help raise crucial funds and awareness by walking 9,000 steps during the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s!
You can tackle this challenge as an individual or come together with your family and friends to work towards reaching your step goal as a team. Help people living with dementia and their care partners know that they do not walk on this journey alone.
Nearly a third of Ontarians know someone living with dementia, a number that will only increase and will be among one of the defining societal challenges in the coming decades. Let your candidates know that you plan to #VoteDementia on June 2. SHOW YOUR SUPPORT! »
