The Fundraising
2025 Walk for Dementia - 1200 miles
In 2025 I have launched my “Walk for Dementia” starting on January 1 and finishing the goal of 1200 miles in mid December. The idea of doing 1,200 miles was a challenge – but one I knew I could do. It made me realize that when you’re serious about sticking to something, you can do it! Over $16,000 have been raised for Dementia Bermuda.

LIVE AID 1985
I was part of the organizing commettee for the Bermuda portion of LIVE AID, by operating and coordinating the Bermuda nightclubs and telethon, which raised over $208,000. The highlight of the LIVE AID visit was Sir Bob Geldof being met by the Governor of Bermuda at the City Hall, where he was presented a check for the raised funds .
