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.
This year, I will walk for my grandmother – She cared for over 15 years for my grandfather who lived with you onset Alzheimer’s disease. He lived in Long Term Care for over 10 years and she would walk many kilometers to feed him, ensure he was totally comfortable but also to make sure he received the foods he loved from his culture.
I walk for caregivers, for the full family units that are impacted by Dementia.
I walk for spouses finding any means necessary to provide comfort, children checking in from all over the world to ensure safety is top priority, grandchildren scouring the internet for useful tips and resources and all the many types of caregivers in this journey.
We know that Dementia affects the whole family. I am walking for yours – and mine.
