In 2014 Garth lost the love of his life, Linda, to cancer. Lisa lost her mother, caregiver, and number one fan. Linda was a strong advocate for her daughter and believed in speaking up for all people living with an intellectual or developmental disability. She believed everyone has a purpose for their life and should live out their dreams, including Lisa.
After Linda’s passing, Garth needed to find ways to support Lisa while managing work and other responsibilities. Epic Opportunities was able to step in and offer Lisa services that would help her live more independently and pursue her interests and goals.
Since then, Lisa has been on a journey, always keeping her mom’s words of encouragement at heart. She has pursued her singing and acting dreams, while contributing to the community through her work. She is a certainly a bright light.
Garth continues to honour Linda’s legacy by helping Epic Opportunities empower people to live full and meaningful lives. He believes everyone deserves unconditional acceptance and equal access to opportunities. He hopes to shine a bright light on the many programs and services that Epic Opportunities provides in hopes to support more amazing people like his daughter Lisa.
Every person we serve has a story. We are honoured to be a part of Garth and Lisa’s story.
