THANK YOU! 💙 Our hearts are full after an incredible weekend at the 2026 IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s, locally presented by Home Instead Durham Region. To every member of our community who showed up and walked alongside us, please know how deeply grateful we are for your support.

Thanks to more than 700 registered walkers, we raised an incredible $240,000 (and counting!). These funds will help support individuals across Durham Region who are living with dementia, as well as the families and care partners who walk alongside them. Your generosity makes it possible to deliver vital programs and services, including education, support groups, social recreation, and essential resources.

This Walk is powered by compassion and community. To our walkers, donors, sponsors, volunteers, and staff - your kindness, commitment, and generosity are what made this day so meaningful.

Thank you for walking with us and for helping create a more supportive community for those impacted by dementia. We cannot wait to do it all again with you next year!
