You Are Not Alone

There is not a more powerful way for us to convey what inspires our mission than to share our stories of dementia... and to hear yours! The damaging effects of dementia become more palpable and tug at our heartstrings when we see the pictures and read words of the friends and family who have directly experienced the impact of dementia. So please read the unedited stories of dementia for those whose lives have been impacted so dramatically. Our strength to find a cure comes from our community of support.
