Walk for Alzheimer's: Support the MSVU Agetastics Team - For more than 15 years the Centre on Aging has spearheaded the Agetastics Team in support of the important work of the Alzheimer Society. The Team has consisted of past and present staff and students of the Centre and others from the broader MSVU community, as either walk participants or through financially supporting the Team. Over the years the Team has raised more than $40,000 for this important cause. This year the walk will be on Sunday, May 31, 2026 from 9am to 1pm. Our Team goal is $4000 and we need MSVU support. You can sponsor a walker or sponsor the team or sign up as a team member! Help us make a difference. Go to... https://support.alzheimer.ca/site/TR/WFA/WFA_NS?pg=team&team_id=33479&fr_id=5532
