Bonjour, Je m’appelle Reid Duns et je suis enseignant au primaire à Québec. Ma belle-mère a reçu un diagnostic de la maladie d’Alzheimer au milieu de la soixantaine. Cette maladie a profondément marqué sa vie, ainsi que celle de toute sa famille. Vers la fin, elle ne reconnaissait plus ses propres enfants, et ma fille — sa petite-fille — n’a malheureusement jamais eu la chance de créer avec elle ces précieux souvenirs. C’était bouleversant de la voir s’éloigner peu à peu, prisonnière de l’oubli. C’est ce qui m’a poussé à relever un grand défi : le 16 mai 2026, je traverserai le Canada à vélo pour amasser des fonds au profit de La Société Alzheimer de Québec et de la recherche.Mon objectif : 10 $ par kilomètre parcouru, soit 70 000 $ pour les 7 000 km que je pédalerai d’un océan à l’autre. Si vous ou une personne que vous aimez avez été touchés par l’Alzheimer, je vous invite à faire un don et à partager cette campagne autour de vous.Votre soutien sera le vent dans mon dos et l’énergie qui me portera jusqu’à la ligne d’arrivée. Merci du fond du cœur 💜 Reid Duns____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Hello,My name is Reid Duns, and I’m an elementary school teacher in Quebec City.My mother-in-law was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in her mid-sixties. This illness deeply affected her life, as well as the lives of everyone who loved her. Near the end, she no longer recognized her own children, and my daughter — her granddaughter — sadly never had the chance to build those precious memories with her. It was heartbreaking to see her slowly drift away, trapped in forgetfulness. That’s what inspired me to take on a big challenge: 16 may 2026, i will cycle across Canada to raise funds for the Alzheimer Society of Quebec and for research.My goal: $10 for every kilometer I’ll ride — that’s $70,000 for the 7,000 km I’ll pedal from coast to coast. If you or someone you know has been touched by Alzheimer’s, I invite you to donate and share this campaign with others.Your support will be the wind at my back and the energy that keeps me going all the way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💜 Reid Duns
