This is a really big deal. It’s probably nothing that surprises us, but the fact that cognitive improvement can be as much as 45% is amazing. Pay attention.!

Emma Hemings Willis’s book is a great read. I’ve been doing advocacy work for over two decades. My brother and sister had FTD, and my mom had Alzheimer’s. Emma does an amazing job with this book.

I organized FTLDA in 2009 to raise awareness and funds for research. My family has been sharing our stories since 2021, when Michael took his own life. By 2005, Patsy had passed away from the disease, and in 2017, my mom succumbed to Alzheimer’s. Our family is well-acquainted with dementia. It’s not the end of the world. Education and research are crucial.

Dr. Paul Schulz, Dr. Bruce Miller, Dr. Bill Seeley, Dr. Mesulam, and Dr. Howard Kirshner all have guide and or helped me through this journey. They all are Brilliant minds in this field.
