Then, just after the long struggle with her mother ended, her husband was diagnosed with vascular dementia. Lee's battle began again, this time with different struggles and opportunities. She is well equipped to tell this personal story through her years of investigating and learning about the disease firsthand. Lee, a Toastmaster for over 20 years, has spoken many times at Toastmaster contests and public events about her battle with dementia. She organized her own "WOW Wednesday" event to raise funds to support the Alzheimer Society of Canada, and spoke at the Motivational Mondays event held in Edmonton on the topic of dementia.view less
