    Meet the Presenters:

    Mary Ndlovu

    Mary spent fifty years in Zambia and Zimbabwe raising a family, training teachers for the post-Independence expansion of education, and working for democracy and human rights. She is now trying to understand why all the idealism and goodwill for making a better world have been replaced by hatred and greed.

    Christina Poniecki

    Christina worked and travelled in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and North America in the 1970s. She was looking for a deep understanding of herself and humanity in general. Now she continues her learning with inner exploration.

    Martin J.P. Wilkins

    Martin has spent the first part of his career in the management of airlines and is still active in consulting to business corporations and is currently authoring a book on accessing the C suite. However, he still finds time to be a passionate advocate for the interests of older adults and is on the Board of Active Aging Canada, Older Adult Advisory Table with the City of Calgary, Clearwater Academy and the board of Lunchbox Theatre.

    David B. Phillips

    David has led an interesting life in various countries and travelled widely but he has always sought to draw meaning and wisdom from those experiences. Now he is trying to pass on those lessons learned.

    Presented by: Linda Petoit & Sylvia Donely

    Join the Calgary Neuropathy Association's Linda Petiot and Sylvia Donley as we discuss what it is like living with peripheral neuropathy and what options are available to you for your own self-management.  We'll talk about common medications, supplements, how the mind-body connection can turn down the volume on neuropathic pain, and other topics to help everyone understand their neuropathy and their role in managing the condition.
