Welcome to Nemo's Personal Fundraising Page - Gordie Howe Cares - 2024

Good day friends and family, I hope this note finds you all well. On May 24th & 25th, 2025, I will once again participate in the Gordie Howe CARES Pro-Am Hockey Tournament. The Pro-Am is a weekend hockey event where we welcome NHL Alumni from North America to help us raise money for the Gordie Howe CARES Centre for Alzheimer’s Research and Education Society. This is my third time playing in this fantastic fundraiser, and I am excited to be a part of it.
 

As many of you already know, in late September of 2022, my good friend Clement Piche' - Pe' to my kids and loving husband to my Mother passed away due to complications related to Parkinson's and the ensuing Dementia. Dementia is a brain disorder, and can be summarized as a 'group of symptoms, rather than a specific disorder'. Alzheimer's, on the other hand, is a general degeneration of the brain and is the most common type of Dementia, accounting for almost 1/3 of all Dementia cases globally. In fact, in North America, 1 in 3 seniors will die with Alzheimer's or another type of Dementia. Living with this disease is unbearable for the patient and equally difficult for the caregiver(s), causing long-lasting emotional and physical scars.

  • The lifetime risk for Alzheimer’s at age 45 is 1 in 5 for women and 1 in 10 for men.
As a returning player to the tourney, I hope to raise approximately $6000 this year, but I hope to surpass that goal and make my team (and all of you) proud. 

Please help support me in this vital cause by contributing to my fundraiser! Your generosity supports Alzheimer’s patients and caregivers in living healthier and fuller lives.


Whatever you can give will help, however small or large - it all adds up! I greatly appreciate your support and will keep you posted on my progress.

I appreciate your support!

Cheers, 

A
