To raise awareness about Alzheimer's disease, a fan skated for 19 hours through Canadian cities.
According to Canadian broadcaster CBC , Angus Young donated $19,260 to the Alzheimer Society of Ontario. He did so after hearing about an unusual fundraising effort by an AC/DC .
Steve McNeil lost his mother and mother-in-law to Alzheimer's disease. Since then, he has been traveling to every Canadian city that participates in the National Hockey League. He skates for 19 hours and 26 minutes in each one with the goal of raising awareness about the disease and raising money for local charities.
The effort is a tribute to his mother and to Malcolm Young , Angus's brother and co-founder of AC/DC. He died of dementia at age 64.
In December 2014, Malcolm revealed he had the illness that forced him to retire from AC/DC. His nephew Stevie Young took over Malcolm's position.
