Serving Every Scoop With a Purpose
Every scoop supports a meaningful mission at Timtations. Founded by Tim Brown, our artisan ice cream heritage fuels awareness and resources for nonprofits focused on neurodegenerative diseases.
Living a Dream
In the late 1970s through the early 1990s, Tim Brown found himself living that dream as the manager and owner of a quick-service restaurant –Friendly's, in Toronto’s Eaton Centre.
Tucked inside was a scoop shop and a frozen yogurt bar, each offering customers a taste of creativity and comfort. While frozen yogurt opened doors for playful, personalized combinations, ice cream options at the time remained limited.
As Ben & Jerry’s was just beginning to shake up the dessert world in Vermont, Tim was quietly building a foundation of flavour and imagination in Canada.
A New Chapter
Fast forward, and Tim found himself embarking on an unexpected new chapter far removed from the food and hospitality industry – manufacturing. Then, in 2013, Tim’s path took a profound turn.
After receiving a diagnosis of Progressive Supranuclear Palsy (PSP), a rare and life-limiting progressive neurodegenerative condition, Tim stepped away from the manufacturing world and into the world of advocacy.
PSP, along with conditions like Corticobasal Syndrome (CBS), Multiple System Atrophy (MSA), and Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB), are collectively known as Atypical Parkinsonism. Due to their early resemblance to Parkinson’s Disease, these conditions are often misdiagnosed, leaving patients and families seeking clarity and support.
Tim’s advocacy; to include publishing four books -- The PSP Chronicles on his personal journey with PSP, shines a light on these misunderstood diseases, creating a lasting impact on the community.
