‘Changing Minds’ – An Evening with Maggie Beer in the Barossa Valley

 

img-720x1024

I enjoyed a fantastic night presenting ‘my dementia rollercoaster’ story to a sold out crowd at the Vine Inn, Barossa Valley.(180+ people)

A really tight knit community came out to learn & support people with dementia.

SA Icon Maggie Beer was so personable, and it was a real thrill to present on the same stage as her and the flamboyant Dr Faizal Ibrahim.

A great night in front of an amazing audience. Thanks to Helen Wood and the Carerslink team for inviting me.

Bravo!
