THE HICKEY FAMILY
By Cheryl Hickey
I decided to join the 2019 Yogen Früz Brain Project because I have
a dad who has a rare brain disorder. Getting involved with the
Baycrest team makes me feel like I can do something to help him.
I can take some of the eyes that are on me because of my job and
direct them to this incredible cause, because it affects all of us.
We need to be talking now about ways to keep our brains healthy.
