425,000 Canadians suffer from memory problems.
Do you remember your birthday? The day you turned 18? Your children’s name? Your first kiss? Your favorite dessert?
The loss of memory is like losing your history, your past, your points of reference and the story of your life. Alzheimer and other dementias, as well as all mental illnesses, cause isolation, which we need to relieve.
Give. More than a generation will remember.
