A big shout-out of heartfelt thanks to all those who participated in the 2023 Whistler Walk for Alzheimer’s on May 28! It was a beautiful day to walk, talk and honour all the special caregivers in our community. The caregivers’ stories were an inspiration to all attendees. Chantal Jackson and our photographer, Cliff Jennings, shared their experiences with Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Special thanks to all these very generous people who made the day a success!
Cathy Clark of the Clark Family Foundation for their matching gift of $10,000; Bruce Stewart of Nesters for their very generous donation of food for the barbecue and grocery gift cards; the many Whistler businesses who contributed to our online auction; volunteers who set up and took down the venue, and registered the walkers and donors; the Rotary Club of Whistler members who “manned” the food tent; our location host, Father Andrew of Our Lady of the Mountains Catholic Church; Mayor Jack Crompton and Councillor Cathy Jewett for participating in our program and the walk; the Whistler Fire Rescue Service, who lead off the walk with a fire engine; the Whistler Walk steering committee, for the countless hours and months of planning to make it all happen; and the many members of the Whistler community for their participation in the Whistler Walk for Alzheimer’s and their generous donations.
You are all so awesome!
