Dear Editor:
Congratulations on your article Living with Dementia (Sept. 20 Sunday Focus feature story by reporter Maria Spitale-Leisk). I have several friends who are in situations similar to Bryan and Judy Chalmers. The article touched my heart and is very timely on both a social scale and a Lions Club fundraising project.
I am a member of the Deep Cove Lions Club. This Saturday we are holding a third fundraising event for My Parkgate Break. The event, Shredding for a Cause, will be mentioned in your Community Bulletin Board (on page 22 of today’s paper). Thank you for this service.
My Parkgate Break is an adult daycare program at Parkgate Community Centre for seniors who have Alzheimer’s disease. The program offers social connection for the afflicted person and respite time for exhausted primary caregivers.
Respite and research are key components for Alzheimer’s care.
