Wawa residents are being encouraged to strap on their shoes and get walking to support the local Alzheimer Society.
This Sunday will see the annual IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimers, with local funds to support the Alzheimer Society of Sault Ste. Marie and Algoma District, which supports North Algoma - including Wawa, Dubreuilville, White River, Chapleau and neighbouring First Nation communities - with its FIRST Link direct referral program, family support and counselling, the Minds in Motion physical activity program, a Resource Lending Library, the Project Lifesaver program to help with lost individuals, and other education, training, and awareness support.
You can register at walkforalzheimers.ca, with the event to be held in Wawa Sunday - at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Centre outdoor track - with registration at noon and the walk and celebration at 1 pm.
