Championing Care, Compassion, and Change
Meet Terrence, a strategist, facilitator, and community builder with a unique perspective. He has been a care advocate for his younger brother Torrance, who has lived with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy for over 30 years. The challenges he faced while caring for his brother and the loss of his mother, Mimi, to lung cancer have given him this unique perspective on the needs of patients and caregivers, a perspective that he passionately advocates for.
Terrence is the Head of Global Sales Education and Operations at Braze Mobility, a leading company that developed the world's first patented blind spot sensors for wheelchairs. He co-authored the book Bold Spirit Caring for the Dying and trained as an End-of-Life Care Doula, further fueling his passion for accessibility, end-of-life care, and mental well-being.
Terrence's advocacy work has raised awareness and promoted change in accessibility, end-of-life care, and mental well-being. He is featured in various media outlets, including CP24, Global News, CityNews, National Post, Toronto Star, Healthing.ca, The Disability Channel, and CBC's Sickboy Podcast, where he shares his experience as a family and sibling caregiver. But when he's not being a change agent, you can catch him relaxing by listening to a podcast, jumping into a cold lake, or bouncing on his trampoline. Terrence's positive energy and drive to make the world a better place is noticeable.
