Hello My Friend

I am riding my e-bike from Montreal to Prince Edward Island this August with Love, Sweat and Gears - in support of Alzheimer’s, a disease that is close to my heart. I am inspired by the legacy of Terry Fox and all he has done - for all of us.

My goal is to raise at least $5,000 on this ride and next year take the next step, to ride across Canada – stay tuned. This exciting ride involves all kinds of folks raising money for charities dear to them.

In Canada there are over 600,000 people living with dementia. In 25 years that number is expected to be 1.7 million.  28,000 people under 65 are living with the onset of dementia. Unfortunately, nearly half of Canadians would feel ashamed if they had dementia. Alzheimer’s makes up 60-80% of total dementia cases. Together we can make the change. Dementia touches every family. It has touched mine, and I just want to lend a hand.

I am requesting your support as I undertake this challenge. I am up for it – and any help you can offer Alzheimer’s will further inspire me. I feel very fortunate to be able to participate in Love, Sweat and Gears 2024, and with such a great group of people.

Thank You and Warmest Regards

Chris Barton
