Walk Where You Are
All over Saskatchewan care facilities, businesses and communities are walking for Alzheimer's where they are! The Walk for Alzheimer’s unites the entire community – family, friends, coworkers, social, faith groups and more. Together we display a combined strength and dedication to support people and families living with dementia. Contact us at the Alzheimer Society to get started today and create a team on our Walk for Alzheimer's Fundraising Page by clicking HERE

Sarah from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan has hosted her own Moose Jaw Run/Walk for the past two years!
"Alzheimer's is close to my heart. My grandmother was diagnosed with it and passed away last year. Even though the disease stole her memory, she had the same loving heart, and would walk with me for hours when I came to visit. It is very difficult to watch someone you care about live with this disease and not be able to help them.
In 2019, I decided to organize a 5K and 10K walk/run event here in Moose Jaw to raise money for Alzheimer's research. I plan on keeping this event an annual fundraiser and hope to see the number of participants grow over the years. So far, the event has been successful. In the past 18 months, we have raised over $10,500." - Sarah C.
