It is September 1st, and that marks the beginning of World Alzheimer's Month, and the fifth time that you will be supporting the Alzheimer's Society of Canada when you make a purchase in the shop. It is unbelievable that it has been that long since we started donating to the Alzheimer's Society of Canada, and, to date, you have helped to raise over $120.
The Forget-Me-Not flower (which I have drawn this year) is a powerful symbol for people with
Alzheimer's and their families. It is often used to symbolise the loss
of memory, but is also a reminder to remember the people that we have
lost to Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.
As you may know, the
disease has touched my family as my Grandma was diagnosed with Alzheimer's when I was a teenager, and, over the years I have shared pieces of our story with you. It means so much to me that you continue to help support the cause and give a
voice to those affected by Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.
