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 Toronto on May 24th 2025 to help raise money on behalf of the Alzheimer Society and in honour of my mom, who was diagnosed with Lewy Body Dementia (LBD or something referred to as DLB - Dementia with Lewy Bodies) in August 2024. After a challenging year of what seemed like mystery symptoms with no cause, we finally got an answer - albeit not the one we wanted. LBD is the second most common type of dementia next to Alzheimer’s but it still flies vastly under the radar in terms of awareness and information. I’m excited to embark on my first Walk for Alzheimer’s and to contribute to further research that will hopefully, one day, lead to a cure for this horrid disease. 

Me, my mom, and our whole family remain positive and optimistic, taking Lewy day by day. Laurie is and will always be the same mom, wife, sister, cousin, and aunt that she has always been - kind, loving, and cute as a button.

Thank you again for your generous commitment and support.

Amanda
