Join thousands of Canadians who want to see a world without Alzheimer’s disease.
The Investors Group Walk for Alzheimer’s is Vancouver’s fun and family-friendly event that brings the community together and raises vital funds for the Alzheimer Society of B.C.
When you walk, you make memories matter. You honour people who have passed and acknowledge the work that must be done to ensure help and hope for the people living with the disease today. Each year we honour a member of the Vancouver community who has been affected by dementia or who has valuably contributed to the lives of people living with the disease.
This year we honour the Buchignani family. Click here to read their story.
Get your family, friends and colleagues together and join us for an amazing day at the 2018 Investors Group Walk for Alzheimer’s. Together, we make memories matter.

More info on the walk:
Walk for Alzheimer’s is Canada’s biggest fundraiser for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
Monies raised support programs and services in your community that improve the quality of life for people living with dementia and their families, and support other activities like education and public awareness.
Walks take place every year in 150 communities across Canada. In 2014, 24,000 walkers participated, raising $4.5 million.
When you walk, you send a message of hope to the 564,000 Canadians currently living with dementia, and thousands more who care for them.
When you fundraise, you promise them that help will always be available.
