COTA SA presents: In episode one, Marg bravely shares her experience of memory loss. For her, connecting with COTA volunteer Lai Woon was a major turning point, helping her pull herself ‘up out of her chair’ after the anxiety she was feeling as her memory became less reliable. Marg’s journey may be difficult but she’s taking positive steps to empower herself and shine a light on what is possible, when living with cognitive impairment.
