In 2021, one of my nearest and dearest friends (Andrea) was diagnosed with Early Onset Dementia caused by Alzheimer's Disease. For the second year in a row, I will be joining Andrea's team, AJ's Brainy Bunch, to ride in the Bike for Brain Health on Sunday, May 31, 2026. 

Please hear more about Andrea's story in the video that was made at last year's event. It will touch your heart as it has done for so many. This event brings together thousands of riders to raise critical funds for Baycrest, a global leader in innovation, care, education and research to treat Alzheimer's and other dementias. Last year, AJ's Brainy Bunch raised more than $35,000.

More than 770,000 Canadians currently live with dementia and it is touching more and more of our lives every day. I know each of you is already supporting a cause that is dear to your heart, but if in this moment you would like to join Andrea's team or would like to donate to this effort to support brain research, please follow the DONATE NOW link. With thanks from the bottom of my heart.
