I'm walking this year for two reasons. The first is my grandmother, who we lost to dementia. The second is what I see every day as an audiologist: the clear, growing link between hearing loss and cognitive decline. The Lancet Commission identified untreated hearing loss as the single largest modifiable risk factor for dementia, which means the work I do in the clinic and the work the Alzheimer Society does in the community are part of the same fight.
Every dollar you donate helps fund the programs, support, and research that families like mine wish had been there sooner. Please consider sponsoring me today. It truly matters.
Thank you.
