Alzheimer's Shirley has created a Candleholder in celebration of Alzheimer's 25th Anniversary. The Candleholder celebrates the care giver.  Candles are to remember and celebrate the people we love whether they are those who are caring or those who are cared for....Click on the image to go the the Gallery for a closer look.

Shirley and husband Gerry Elford are longtime supporters of healthcare in Hamilton. Recently they have turned their attention to mental health, which they see as a serious yet neglected healthcare issue. In 2005, they created the Angel Fund in association with the Hamilton Community Foundation, hoping to raise awareness for a disease that will affect the lives of one in four Canadians.

In recognition of Shirley's work in support of mental healthcare issues in Hamilton, St. Joseph's Healthcare has established a fund in her name. Each year, St Joseph's creates a special celebration to raise money for the The Shirley M. Elford Fund Mentral Healthcare Fund.  Congratulations Shirley!
