The Canadian Red Cross - HELP

Behind every person with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, there are hundreds of people dedicated to helping. The Alzheimer Society is the leading not-for-profit health organization working nationwide to improve the quality of life for Canadians affected by Alzheimer's disease and other dementias and advance the search for the cause and cure. We are located in every province across Canada and in over 150 local communities. Since 1989, we've been dedicated to providing help for people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias and their caregivers. That help comes in many ways. The Alzheimer Society of PEI is comprised of a team of caring and dedicated professionals committed to fulfilling the mission of the Alzheimer Society of Prince Edward, which is to support and assist Islanders affected by Alzheimer and Related Dementias. The Society is responsible for raising the level of awareness, providing programs, education and support services to all those affected by the disease.

Crohn’s and Colitis Canada is the only national, volunteer-based charity focused on finding the cures for Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis and improving the lives of children and adults affected by these diseases. We are one of the top two health charity funders of Crohn’s and colitis research in the world, investing over $130 million in research since 1974, leading to important breakthroughs in genetics, gut microbes, inflammation and cell repair as well as laying the groundwork for new and better treatments. We are transforming the lives of people affected by Crohn’s and colitis (the two main forms of inflammatory bowel disease) through research, patient programs, advocacy, and awareness.
