The 2024 Walk for Alzheimer's is set for May 26 at Central Park in Burnaby.
Today, March 17, however, marked the final day of Brain Awareness Week by the Alzheimer Society of BC, encouraging residents to get up and move to help lower the risks of developing dementia."People who exercise regularly are less likely to develop heart disease, stroke and diabetes – all risks associated with dementia," said Society spokesperson Dr. Sarah Wu.
Following a healthy diet, managing stress as well as avoiding smoking and excess alcohol consumption also help lower the risk, the society explained, noting daily brain activities can help the cause. Burnaby's event on May 26, taking place by the south pond in Central Park starting at 10 a.m., is one of 20 in the province that will witness hundreds that support or have a connection to someone who lives with the disease.
