Here’s what our CEO, Kris, has to say about this awesome episode of CBS.

I'm sharing a beautiful story that ran today, ironically from where I grew up in Arkansas, about a high school teacher who goes the extra mile for a mentor challenged with dementia. It's a great example of something we say at Rippl a lot. Dementia is not the end, it's the beginning of something different. Thanks Clay Morton for proving that is so, so true.
So many great, thoughtful, impactful things Clay is proving here. Challenging dementia stigma that is so rampant today, proving someone with a dementia diagnosis can deeply experience life and love throughout their journey (regardless of stage), offering some practical support to a patient and family to help ease the bumps in the road. And, maybe most importantly, honoring the lives and journeys of these special folks.
Such a beautiful, touching story. We need more Clays. This will be the best 3 minutes of your week.
