Funny You Should Say That...
Reaching out for experts in this space please!
I am setting up a podcast and a local streamlined community Radio Show (Radio Northern Beaches, Sydney and available worldwide) for carers of people who have dementia and Alzheimer's.
It's a fun space for entertaining but also informing listeners about what is happening in research, current thinking and future proofing ourselves to be the best we can and avoid the onslaught of a disease that does not discriminate.
The best and most brilliant of minds, can fall foul of dementia.
But most importantly it will be a place where people caring for family members can share their experiences, and not feel alone.
There is a Facebook Page Funny You Should Say That and Group Page that has recently been created. Join us!
I have been overwhelmed with the response in these early days with people contacting me, and this is a call out to any organisations involved in this space.
This says to me, there is a huge need to fill the gap for carers who need their voice to be heard.
I have personal experience with my mother experiencing this debilitating disease but my sister was on the frontline and she used humour, stoicism and just 'getting on with it', to get her through.
This will be a space to help make that journey a bit easier.
I am looking to partner with experts and thought leaders, and use my marketing and journalism expertise to help spread the word and make a difference.
If you think you can help please get in touch.
If you have personal stories please get in touch.
I have been fortunate to have the support of several influencers in the digital marketing world in particular I would like to thank Jeff Sheehan for your ongoing help.
?It is much appreciated!
