Petri was nominated by the Alzheimer Society of Finland (Muistiliitto) in 2017 to join the European Working Group of People with Dementia and has been a member of the working group since. Petri was diagnosed with fronto-temporal dementia in 2015, but he refused to let the difficulties associated with dementia defeat them. He continues to live an active life, working in his garden, cycling and playing ping-pong and badminton. Being open about his condition and remaining as calm as possible in any situation helps him to navigate life with dementia, with the support of others when needed.
