2025 Walk Spokesperson - Cynthia

"After mom passed away, dad's world shattered. But his resilient spirit helped him rebuild his independence - cooking, cleaning, managing his finances, and staying active at the Seniors club. However, in his mid-80s, I noticed changes concerning. He struggled with neighbors' names and familiar things. Despite our family doctor's initial reluctance, we pushed for an assessment, which revealed vascular dementia. This diagnosis led us to the Alzheimer Society - a turning point in our journey."
