About 10 Muslim youth volunteers participated in this event and gained experience in set up, running and clean up of the event. Volunteers were given souvenir t-shirts and warmly thanked for their contribution.
Alzheimer disease affects 1 in 13 Canadians over the age of 65. Two thirds of those affected are women. Over 52% of Canadians know someone with Alzheimer disease, and almost 25% of us have someone in our family who is affected by this disease.
It is through participating in events such as the Walk for Memories that we, as Muslim, can not only give back and be involved in our local community, but that was can extend the voice of Islam in being compassionate and giving cherish in every way that we can.
