Wawa residents are being encouraged to strap on their shoes and get walking to support the local Alzheimer Society.
First Link Coordinator Chris Rask explains the annual Walk for Alzheimers is back.
Noting you can select "Wawa and Area" for the online pledge form or simply use a paper form, Rask encourages people to "walk where you are, in your own way, in the month of May".
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.
Rask says that also includes a Resource Lending Library, as well as the weekly Minds in Motion program and care partners for people living with dementia.
The Walk for Alzheimers will be held May 28th, so pledges must be in by then - you can register at walkforalzheimers.ca or call the local office at 705-856-0000.
