This year, my family and I are taking part in the Alzheimer Calgary Walk & Run in honour of my dad, Peter Maher.

Alzheimer’s was a cause close to Dad’s heart because his mother lived with the disease. He saw how difficult it was for her and for the family, and he wanted to help others facing the same experience. For nearly 20 years, he gave his time and his voice to Alzheimer Calgary. At many Walk & Run events, he helped kick things off, leading the countdown as participants set out.

We lost Dad this year, and taking part feels like a meaningful way to honour him and support the cause he cared so much about.

Thank you for supporting our team, whether you join us, make a donation, or cheer us on. It means a great deal to our family.
