Bob & Diane Fund awards annual visual storytelling grant for 2025 to Canadian photographer Leah Hennel

05/01/2026

The Bob & Diane Fund is excited to announce photographer Leah Hennel as the 2025 grantee for her photography project, “In The Time We Have”. This yearly photography grant supports visual storytelling about Alzheimer's & dementia. 
This is a personal project about Joan who has been living with dementia for more than 10 years and her husband Alan, who is now her full-time caregiver. Willing to share their most personal moments, they want to be a part of this project. Alan's outlook on life is heartening. As an ambassador for support, he wants to break the stigma of people living with dementia and of the people operating as caretakers. As a way to support caregivers, Alan, after noticing conversation cafes in California, helped to start the Dementia/Memory Cafe. He has also lent a hand to the formation of Dementia Network Calgary. The couple has never stopped living, and it's an honor to tell their story. Joan is now 75 and Alan, 80.
