It was a record setting year for the Oxford Alzheimers Society. The Walk for Memories events in Woodstock, Ingersoll and Tillsonburg raised a combined $103,415, raising the bar for another record setting year. Executive Director of the local branch, Shelley Green says that total makes the local walks one of the best in the country. "Our Walk for Memories is the most successful per capita, in the Alzheimer movement in all of Canada. We are 3rd only to Ottawa and Toronto (total funds raised) in the province, and they of course have huge population bases to draw from. Our county is so generous, and has so stood behind our organization for so many years and we're very, very thankful." The most recent walk, in Tillsonburg, raised close to 23-thousand dollars. While Ingersoll's total was up a whopping 30 per cent this year, to just under 13-thousand dollars. Woodstock's total came in at $67,666. All of that money will stay in Oxford County to help local citizens afflicted with memory loss and dementia. There are over 1800 residents in Oxford living with Alzheimers Disease.
