I love this SO much. Thank you for this work! And this lovely piece about it. I just wrote a piece about my mother and her dementia journey, and it made me realize freshly that she was more than her diagnosis, more than her disease. This piece cements it.

Thank you Patty. It's lovely to know that this article has had that impact on you. I will ensure that I check your article you mentioned!

I completely agree. It is very easy for people to place a blanket of diagnosis over someone living with conditions such as dementia. But so much more can be discovered and brought to the surface with connection - and for our charity, creative outlets. Wishing you all the very best. Great to meet you.

Absolutely, Marc! This is just the beginning of our community networking journey! Thanks for making this such an easy collaboration effort! All done without a live call, with great flexibility, and resonance - plus mutual appreciation of our respective time constraints! ;-)
