Today's story is shared with the perspective of 20 years in the rear view mirror. Cindy joins us to tell the story of her father Jerry's journey with early onset Alzheimers, which he was diagnosed with in the late 80s. With many years of reflection, Cindy shares her perspectives on her grief journey and her relationship with her sweet Dad. Cindy recently authored a book with reknown FTD expert Dr. Bruce Miller called Finding the Right Words, which chronicals her father's disease but also focuses on remembering Jerry for who he was before the diesase (you know we love that!).

Some of the questions we ask: -What are the different types of research? Pharmacological vs. not? -How does brain donation support research? -How do we make research more accessible? Research and clinical trials are such an important aspect of our advocacy and we are thrilled to bring you these 2 episodes stacked full of useful info!
