On May 30, 2026, I will be joining the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s at Orchard Pavilion in Downsview Park to support the thousands of Torontonians living with dementia.

My mom was diagnosed with Dementia in 2012, and our family accessed a number of supports and services from the Alzheimer's Society while she was still living at home. Mom was able to participate in the Walk for Alzheimer's with us for a few years before moving into long term care. We felt so fortunate for every moment together, especially when she recognized our voices. Mom just recently away from long-term related complications in January 2026. 

After my mom passed away, my father pretty much stopped walking and eating, and became more confused. It must have been disorienting for him to be without Dianne after 54 years of marriage  and dedication. He also passed away in March 2026. Although we miss them terribly, we have to take comfort in the possibility that they are together again. 

The demand for specialized programs and services is growing every day. By donating to my goal, you are directly supporting those impacted by dementia and ensuring no one has to navigate this journey alone.

Your generosity provides a lifeline for caregivers and families across the city. Please click the yellow Donate button to contribute today. 

Thank you for your commitment to creating a dementia-friendly Toronto. Thank you for supporting our team, our family, and our participation in the Walk for Alzheimer's. It is much appreciated.
