Why I Choose to Walk…

There are so many empowering reasons:

I walk for my Mom, Judy Rollich who has Dementia and has been struggling with the affects it has had on her daily life for many years. I admire her strength, compassion, courage and incredible sense of humour. She has taught me to always look forward and to find the light at the end of the sometimes very dark tunnel. I love you Mom for always supporting  me through my ups and downs. Now it's my turn to support you. I walk for my Nana, the most warm, loving, and compassionate person  who I had the privilege of growing up with. She had the most wonderful sense of humor, and taught me to enjoy life to the fullest. I walk for Henry's Granny who had a heart of gold and a  smile that could brighten any darkened day. I walk for my cousin Tony, who was diagnosed in 2022 with vascular dementia, with cerebral amyloid angiopathy and probable Alzheimer’s. He brings sunshine to my heart and I hope to bring a cure to his. I walk for family members living with dementia, and I celebrate their resilience. I walk for friends whose loved ones live with dementia, and I honour their unwavering support. I walk for my community whose services uplift those touched by dementia, and I am grateful for their compassion. I walk to enhance services for those currently and in the future who may be touched by dementia, and I envision a brighter tomorrow. I walk to reduce my own risk of getting dementia, and I take pride in my proactive approach.

Everyone’s story is unique, yet we all share a common bond. We all strive to provide the best possible life for our loved ones. We want to see them thrive, and we want to create lasting memories with them.

It is only one month until I walk again in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer's. I am eager to help this incredible cause and hope to make a difference.

lPease help me make a brighter future for those touched by dementia. Any amount you give is hugely appreciated.

Thank you again for your generous commitment and support.
