I will be walking in the 2010 Manulife Walk for Memories on Saturday, January 30 in honour of my father Curtis Reid (Bubba) and all of those living with Alzheimer’s disease.
It’s not easy for me to ask for help, but I want to make a difference in the lives of all those who have been touched by this disease. Will you make a donation on my behalf?
I am very proud to be part of a team of people who raised $2560 for a cause which is near and dear to my heart, and obviously so many others! All told, 1/2 million dollars was raised for Alzheimer Society yesterday!
Special thanks to those people who sponsored me personally- to the tune of $801!

If you cannot make a donation at this time, or would like others to support alongside you, please forward this to your friends and family and ask them to make a pledge too. Just think, 1 in 13 Canadians above 65 is affected by Alzheimer’s disease or a related dementia – I am not alone in this struggle.
OTHER WAYS YOU CAN HELP!
Volunteers are needed to find prizes and items for goodie bags, brochure distribution and various tasks in the office. Lots of these positions are good for high school students. 200 volunteers are also required day of, for set up and tear down of the event, registration, marshalling and tallying up the monies at our offices after the event.
Alzheimer Society sure does know how to put on a fun and organized rally filled with super heros, celebrities, jugglers, musicians, magicians, dancers, escape artists, stilt-walkers and more, in addition to the 3/4 hour window-shop through Toronto’s (underground) Path, which connects some of Toronto’s finest high rises.
We enjoyed the continental breakfast and seamless and courteous registration and inspiration an event like this generates.
There were awesome costumes, like first place winners “Biker Grannies from Hell” shown inset.
