Hi! 

I am Chris from Tallinn, Estonia. 

I joined the NGO Life with Dementia in Estonia shortly after my mother's diagnosis of Alzheimer disease. My journey as a caregiver lasted more than six years. The journey was colourful and consisted of different experiences. I do actively share the journey and my learning with the aim of increasing awareness and diminishing the stigma around dementia. Knowing the challenges and pain points of a life with dementia, I am happy to contribute to the situation of people living with dementia and their carers' well-being by representing them. I do believe that people with dementia deserve more respect and they need to be treated with more dignity.

Chris was nominated by Demencija Lietuvoje.
