“We reside in Kincardine, Ontario, Canada, a small town 3 hours west of Toronto.
We met in Pharmacy school back in the 1980’s and have been married for nearly 30 years. We have owned a business together where we learned how to manage and work alongside each other very effectively. We have raised 3 fabulous adult children; Alexandra, Aidan, and Liam and we enjoy watching them grow and flourish.
Aidan, our affected child, was born in 1998 and has been diagnosed with Megalencephalic Leukoencephalopathy with Subcortical Cysts (MLC). He keeps us busy with travelling to various medical and physiotherapy appointments in the city as well as participating in weekly electric wheelchair floor hockey games. His contagious smile and effervescent personality has made the challenges we have faced surmountable. We enjoy listening to music, audiobooks and podcasts while we are on the road. When we are home, we enjoy competing with each other in such activities as pickle ball, curling, board games and brain teasers such as Wordle, Connections and a variety of crosswords.”
