Saturday, January 25, 2014 @ 3:50 AM

Prince George, B.C. – The Investors Group Walk for Memories is set for tomorrow  in communities throughout B.C. including Prince George.

The walk is aimed at raising funds for the Alzheimers Society  of B.C.

According to the Alzheimers Society more than 70,000 British Columbians are living with Alzheimer’s  or another  form of dementia.  Sadly, that number is expected to double within the next 25 years.   Three of every four  Canadians, know someone with Alzheimers or  another form of dementia.

With  70 thousand  British Columbians diagnosed with Alzheimers  or dementia  the funds raised through this walk will  be used for education, support, and research  about the illness.

Last year, the  Walk for Memories in Prince George, raised $36 thousand  dollars, organizers are hoping tomorrow’s walk will top that amount.

The walk will take place at the CN Centre.  Registration is set for 12:30 and the  walk  gets underway at 1:30, lasting until 3:30.
