Lori La Bey, Founder of Alzheimer’s Speaks Appointed as Global Purple Angel Ambassador
Lori La Bey, Alzheimer’s Speaks founder, to become an
Official Global Purple Angel Ambassador
Saturday November 16th, 2013.
In order to give wings to the Purple Angel project, the new symbol for dementia, Ostrich Care decided to partner and launch a worldwide campaign with Norrms McNamara to promote 50 Ambassadors around the world. Their locations range from the UK, Nepal, Australia, the United States and Germany. La Bey will be one of 11 Ambassadors appointed to represent the US.
Norrms himself will appoint each of the 50 Ambassadors as they are inducted to play a paramount role in raising dementia awareness in surrounding communities, mentor those interested in shifting our dementia care culture and help those who are in need of dementia support. For information on all 50 Ambassadors click here.

Congratulations Lori…I don’t know anyone that works harder for our cause.
Thank you Susan. We must set up a time to hat and catch up so I can hear all the great work you are doing as well!

Perhaps after the holidays…I’ve been in chemotherapy for 6 months and am just now getting my sea legs back and about 1/4 inch of hair too!. Finally feeling frisky again!
Susan
HI Susan
I am so sorry. I didn’t know you were ill. Sending you prayers and healing. So glad to hear you are feeling a bit frisky again! 🙂
Lori
Thanks Lori…I think caregiving for 15 years prepared me. As of November 1 I am cancer free. 🙂
OH that is wonderful news Susan! I will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
