Thank you for supporting me in raising awareness and funds that will make a difference in the lives of people living with dementia, their caregivers and families.

I’m participating in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s in Stratford  to help raise money on behalf of the Alzheimer Society, so we can meet the growing demand for programs and services. These and other resources make all the difference in the way that people affected by dementia are able to manage the disease and live life to the fullest.  

On a personal note, every year I do this walk in honour of my grandmother who had Alzheimer's disease, and who was my personal hero. She had 9 children and probably a million grandchildren. She was a school teacher, and she advocated and supported my uncle who lived with Down Syndrome, had heavy involvement in the special olympics and honestly I cannot speak enough about the influence that she has had on my life. She shaped my career as a social worker and inspired my career change in supporting people through dementia. I often wish that I knew then what I knew now about how to support her in her hardest moments.
