Walk for Alzheimers Arrives, Marking End of Local Campaign

Wawa residents are being encouraged to strap on their shoes and get walking to support the local Alzheimer Society.

As this Sunday is the annual IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimers, First Link Coordinator Chris Rask reminds it's being held virtually, with participants urged to "walk where you are, in your own way".

Rask emphasizes that funds raised locally support the local office - which covers Wawa, Michipicoten First Nation, Hawk Junction, Dubreuillville, and White River - noting there are a number of services offered.

Pledges must be in by Sunday - you can register at walkforalzheimers.ca or call the local office at 705-856-0000.
