Our #1 priority: MEMORY MEDIA Improving the quality of life for people with Alzheimer's and Dementia
We all know family or friends who have suffered from the debilitating diseases of Dementia & Alzheimer's. Did you know there are 55 million people globally suffering, 6 million in North America and almost 1 million in Canada. Alzheimer's has been called, "The Long Goodbye", which is frankly much too gentle. I call it the "Long, Angry, Death" because from diagnosis it can last from 3 to 11 years and can fill every day with frustration and anger. We are going to change that.
Our #1A priority: The BODYGUARD: TAKING ON ALL BULLYING
ALL OUR KIDS HAVE SEEN IT OR EXPERIENCED IT. THE BODYGUARD UNDERSTANDS HOW THEY FEEL AND IS THERE FOR THEM.
