Helen has always been a champion of her community, and since being diagnosed her drive is to give a voice to those who need it has only increased. She has taken in her stride the necessary adjustments to her routine and continues to do the things she loves.
Helen is living with Alzheimer’s disease. She is a member of the European Working Group of People with Dementia and has continued to work as an advocate for the community since her diagnosis. She is not only an advocate for those with Alzheimer’s disease but also campaigns for equal rights for all, describing herself as a political activist. Helen still lives an independent life tending to her rose garden and walking her dog.
