Alzheimer’s is a devastating disease that affects so many families, including mine. My grandmother, Marina Leisen, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2016 and passed away in 2024 after battling the disease. She was a caring and vibrant person who loved painting, wine, and long walks. She spent 40 years as a nurse and was an active member of her church community. I am raising money in her honour and in support of all families affected by Alzheimer’s and dementia. Any donation would be greatly appreciated and will help Baycrest continue its important work in Alzheimer’s and dementia research.

The Pro-Am for Alzheimer's in support of Baycrest is the largest hockey charity event in North America. This unique 2-day tournament in Toronto features former hockey pros and hockey enthusiasts skating in support of Alzheimer’s research and care.

Contribute to this epic event with a donation! Funds raised in the Pro-Am for Alzheimer's in support of Baycrest support care and research into Alzheimer’s and related dementias at Baycrest Foundation, one of the world’s top neurocognitive science centres in research on memory and aging.

Thank you in advance for your generous gift.
