Today, every 5 minutes someone in Canada develops Alzheimer's disease or a related dementia. This number is expected to grow to one in every 2 minutes within a generation, if nothing changes. By 2038, 1.1 million Canadians will be living with Alzheimer's. Coffee Break offers a message of hope for a better future and a chance for you to support individuals currently living with dementia and their families (over 3,200 in NW Ontario).
Help stem the rising tide of dementia one cup at a time! Sign up to become a Coffee Break Champion today and make a difference in the lives of many Canadians whose lives are affected by Alzheimer's.
