In this powerful episode of The Dementia Collective, host Andrew Karesa sits down with Stephanie Fauquier — strategic leader, endurance athlete, and founder of Race with Steph — to explore how love, movement, and purpose can transform the way we talk about dementia.

When Stephanie’s mother, Dr. Robin McLeod, an Order of Canada recipient and trailblazing surgeon, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, she chose to act. What began as one triathlon became ten races across Canada, raising nearly $1 million for Alzheimer’s research and sparking a national conversation about compassion, resilience, and legacy.

Together, Andrew and Stephanie talk about caregiving through travel, finding structure amid chaos, and how kindness and curiosity can help families face dementia with strength and grace.

In this episode:

• How Race with Steph united communities across Canada

• Lessons from Dr. Robin McLeod’s life and legacy

• The reality of traveling with a loved one living with Alzheimer’s

• Why resilience and community matter in caregiving

• How small steps can lead to lasting change
