Vision
We need to increase awareness, promote discussion at every level of society, mobilize local and national government to support those involved in research and development of brain health. We need to develop a better care structure for those who care.
Strategy
As a writer Mike is working on a project of awareness. As a musician he is creating innovative ways to bring moments of joy and fulfillment to those who live with dementia. Mike wishes to explore further this connection between the arts and brain health.
Impact
Mike wants to be informed so that he may develop creative ideas to inspire friends, peers, communities, local government and society to be more inclusive, understanding and supportive of the carers and those living with brain health issues.
Motivation
Mike has been a family carer for ten years and it is this lived experience that inspires him to support all who care and all who search for better ways to treat those who live with dementia and related brain health issues. His creative interaction and performances with The Forget Me Nots Choir, an age and dementia friendly choir, strengthens his belief in nurturing an inclusive age friendly society.
Education & Experience
Mike has been a professional writer and musician all of his adult life. He is also a quaified organic cook and an ex-culinary teacher.
