Super fortunate to have my care partner, Dawn Baxter, walking with me on this journey. She is a Superstar in my eyes.
Supporting care partners is more important than ever as the COVID-19 pandemic has created additional pressures, impacting their physical, emotional, and financial health. Find resources to support family care partners in Ontario here: #NationalCaregiverDay

Great message @KSeeher~! Women - stand up and take a bow!! Well-done in continuing to push through many avenues to help to enable PWD live our best life.
On International Women's Day #IWD2022, we recognize how #dementia disproportionately affects women worldwide. This is also a great opportunity to acknowledge the tremendous contributions that women make to society in this regard. Hence this personal Thank-You🧵(1/4)
