Teena's History of Caregiving

Teena has a taste for adventure. She has climbed some of the world's highest mountains, kayaked on the Nile, cycled through Uganda, and enjoys long-distance open-sea swimming around Ireland. 

In her book, "Losing Weight One Foot in Front of the Other: From 23 Stone to Me," Teena catalogs her battle with obesity. She lost ten stone in a year to return to better personal health.

Teena later became a full-time caregiver for her 95-year-old father, Terry, who was diagnosed with vascular dementia following a fall in 2018. Teena's blog explores her life with Terry and their rescue companion "GoogleDog," as part of a growing movement towards #MakingCaringVisible.
