In 2022, I lost my dad to Alzheimer’s.
Walking beside him through that journey changed me in ways I’m still discovering. I experienced it not just as a daughter, but also as a healthcare professional. I saw firsthand how confusing, exhausting, and emotional dementia can be for both the person living with it and the family who loves them.
My dad’s experience shaped the path I walk today.
It is the reason I speak about dementia, why I educate healthcare professionals, and why I advocate for better understanding, compassion, and care for the aging population. I truly believe that when we share knowledge and stories, we can change the way people experience this disease.
This walk is one small way I honour my dad’s memory.
Every donation helps fund research, supports caregivers, and strengthens programs for families navigating dementia.
These resources matter more than many people realize, and I have seen how deeply they can impact lives.
Thank you for walking alongside me in this.
Together we can build a more informed, compassionate future for those living with dementia and the families who love them.
With gratitude,
Krystal
