On May 30, 2026, I’ll be taking part in the IG Wealth Management Walk for Alzheimer’s in honour of two incredibly important people in my life.
My nanny, Beatrice MacDougall, lived with Alzheimer’s and eventually passed away from this disease. Watching someone you love slowly lose pieces of themselves is something that stays with you forever.
More recently, my best friend Amanda was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s. She has already experienced the heartbreak of losing her birth mother to this disease, and now she is facing that same battle herself with unbelievable strength and courage.
I’m walking for them, for their families, for caregivers, and for everyone impacted by this horrendous disease. No one should have to go through this journey alone.
If you’re able to donate, every contribution helps provide support, programs, and resources for those living with Alzheimer’s. Thank you for helping me honour my Nanny, Beatrice and support Amanda.
