Hello friends and colleagues,

This year, I have committed to stepping onto the ice for something far bigger than a game of hockey. I am participating in the Gordie Howe CARES Pro-Am, a premier fundraising event dedicated to supporting those affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia. This cause is close to my heart, and I have witnessed firsthand the damage this disease can do to loved ones and those that support them.  I am writing to invite you to join me in making a tangible difference in the lives of patients and caregivers alike.

The goal of Gordie Howe CARES is to ensure dignity, support, and education are provided to the caregivers of people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia related illness so they are never alone on their journey.

Why We Must Act:
       The impact of dementia on our communities is growing.

• 600K+ Canadians Living with Dementia
  (this number is projected to nearly double by 2030)

• 1.7M Projected Cases by 2050

• 26 Hours Per Week
  (Average time family caregivers spend support afflicted loved ones)
