Margaret, my mum, had dementia. She is pictured with me above, tickling me in the hope of ruining our photo (an old trick!) Instead, it's become my favourite photograph.

Mum turned 75 in 2020 and also, sadly, passed away at the end of that year. On mum's behalf, I resolved to raise $75,000 for Dementia Australia by the time I turn 75 myself and with the support of friends, family, colleagues and others in the community who care about this cause, I'm on the way.

Any amount you can contribute helps Dementia Australia provide vital support and research programs to people like mum and to families like mine.

Thank you for your help, support and kindness.
