This winter, Bulkley-Nechako residents can take action to support people affected by dementia at\u00a0Breakfast to Remember,<\/em>\u00a0a virtual fundraising breakfast event in support of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. And their participation can help support the Society's programs and services that help local residents living with dementia, their families, and their caregivers.<\/p>\n

The event will feature a keynote address and live Q&A with Dr. Lisa Genova, neuroscientist, speaker and\u00a0international and\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0bestselling author\u00a0of\u00a0Still Alice.<\/em><\/p>\n

Genova holds a PhD in neuroscience from Harvard University and has captured a special place in contemporary fiction, writing stories that are equally inspired by neuroscience and the human spirit. Her first TED talk on brain health has been viewed more than five million times, with her most recent talk garnering more than one million views in its first month alone.<\/p>\n

Genova\u2019s extensively-researched fiction describes the unique journeys of people living with neurological diseases and disorders. She writes with passion and accuracy to educate, demystify, destigmatize and ultimately inspire support for care and scientific research.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to welcome such an inspiring and accomplished speaker to our breakfast,\u201d said Jen Lyle, CEO of the Alzheimer Society of B.C. \u201cLisa Genova understands all the ways dementia can change a person\u2019s life, as well as the neuroscience behind the changes and the actions we can all take now to improve brain health. With the number of people living with dementia on the rise, there is no better time to come together and learn while helping provide critical support needed today.\u201d<\/p>\n

Annual\u00a0Breakfast to Remember<\/em> events bring B.C. business leaders together to hear inspiring talks and help raise critical funds for Alzheimer Society of B.C. programs and services, including increased virtual programming. Funds raised also enable dementia research in B.C. Programs and services help Castlegar, Nelson, Creston, Arrow Lakes District, Slocan Valley and other Bulkley-Nechako residents living with dementia, their families and their caregivers.<\/p>\n

Following the success of last year\u2019s event in a virtual format, Smithers, Houston, Vanderhoof, Burns Lake, Fraser Lake, Telkwa, Granisle and other Bulkley-Nechako residents once again have the opportunity to join the fundraiser to help show people affected by dementia they\u2019re not alone.<\/p>\n

Breakfast to Remember\u00a0<\/em>is set for Thursday, March 3, from 7:30 \u2013 9 a.m. Tickets include access to an exclusive research event, a live discussion about the latest research here in B.C.
