Our Story
The Start of MIND
est. 2019
The MIND Foundation Canada was born from a deep passion for neuroscience and a desire to make a tangible difference in the lives of those affected by neurological disorders.
​
Having both lost grandparents to Alzheimer's disease, co-founders Paolo and Giovanni understood the feeling of helplessness as a family member just standing by. This, coupled with the absence of effective treatments for many devastating neurological and psychiatric diseases was the catalyst for action. It became apparent that there was a pressing need to address this gap and help alleviate the suffering of individuals and their families. Thus, the foundation was established to provide support to those in need and to offer a platform for others to contribute to this important cause.
​
This became Paolo and Giovanni's means to help and now it can be yours as well.
