Hello Lewy Warriors, Happy Easter to all who celebrate! We hope that you are having a wonderful holiday weekend full of friends, family, and relaxation. We're taking it easy this weekend but we still need to keep you updated on all things CLBDI so welcome to the March blog update! It was a busy month for us and we have a few things to recap so let's get right into it. First and foremost, our dementia advocacy letter template is now available on our site! We wanted to offer something to our community that will start the conversation about the current and future problems facing dementia and ..read more

Hello Lewy Warriors! Another month down, another monthly blog post. We hope that everyone had a wonderful February. Ours was a little quiet but that's only because we're gearing up for an exciting spring. Over this past month, we've been working diligently with our Advisory Board to create a dementia advocacy letter that everyone can use to call their local MPs and MPPs to action. The current state of dementia care and resources available in Ontario and across our country aren't enough. With the forecasted dementia trends in Canada, which you can read about in the two Landmark Studies by The ..read more

Hello Lewy Warriors! Welcome to a new year! We hope that everyone had a wonderful New Year's Eve and remainder of your holiday season. We're moving into 2024 with lots of plans and are so excited to get back out in our community. Before we get in to that, though, we wanted to share some great news. We've heard from our liaison at UWO and are pleased to share that we are now at $67,167 in total donations! Wow! We thank everyone who donated over the holidays. As always, we could not do this without your help. This past Sunday, Jan. 28th, we celebrated the inaugural World Lewy Body Dement ..read more

Good Afternoon, Lewy Warriors! It’s time to take a look back at all the things that we did together this past year and begin to look towards 2024.

We’ll start things off with a little update on our donation total! We’re so excited to share that we've reached $66,417 in total donations! Amazing! Although we had somewhat of a quieter fundraising year at CLBDI, the donations have continued to come in organically and our reach has g ..read more

Hello Lewy Warriors! Another month has come and gone so it is time for our monthly update! We hope everyone has had a wonderful November and you are all ready for the holidays and the end of the year. It's been quite a year for us and we have big plans for December. First and foremost, we wanted to remind everyone that we are not doing a Holiday Fundraiser this year. Instead, we encourage you to donate to Dr. Pasternak's LBD research directly by visiting the donation landing page (www.westernconnect.ca/site/SPageNavigator/schulich.html;jsessionid=00000000.app20051a?designee=7682&NONCE_T ..read more

Parking, conversation, and the walk are free to join and open to anyone who wants to be a part of it. Food and drink is optional and to be covered by participants.

Hello Lewy Warriors! The summer has flown by and it's time for another monthly update from the CLBDI team! We hope that everyone has had a fantastic August and that you have a wonderful long weekend ahead of you. We have some awesome things to update you on, so let's get right to it! First of all, we had some issues with finalizing some of the donations and transferring the money from Bob's Trust Fund to Dr. Pasternak's team in June/July but we're happy to say that thanks to Ashely, our liaison at UWO, and Andrew, who works with our founder on the Trust, everything has been sorted out. Pair ..read more

Hello Lewy Warriors, It is time for another monthly blog update which means that it is already the end of July! Where does the time go?! Firstly, we hope that everyone has been having a wonderful and fun summer. The sun is out and the beautiful weather is here. We have been taking it a bit easy ourselves (and we will tell you why) so this blog post should be relatively short. Since the start of this month, we have been slowing the pace here at CLBDI due to some unexpected medical issues and injuries to myself and members of our team. To make sure that we have enough time for full recovery a ..read more

Hello Lewy Warriors! Happy (belated) Canada Day from all of us here at CLBDI. We hope you've been having a wonderful weekend. It's been a whirlwind of a month for us at CLBDI so we have some updates to share. First and foremost, we wanted to address the premature end of "The P.E.I. Project" and say a sincere thank everyone who donated and showed their support before, during, and after the event. As you may or may not know, we had to end the walk early due to Carol suffering an injury on the trail. Safety is our utmost priority so we decided to call it early. We're glad we did and, although w ..read more

Hello Lewy Warriors! It's the end of another month and, as promised, we have LOTS of news to share. We hope everyone had a wonderful April. The warm weather is just around the corner and we can't wait for summer. First and foremost, we've updated the "LBD Resources" page of our website throughout the month and added a bunch of great links, articles, and new LBD-related books (including the latest release from our friend and Lewy Warrior J.J. Johnstone). We will be adding more to the site in the coming months and I suggest you check back regularly. We always welcome new suggestions and ..read more
