This is a cause of great importance to me and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to continue supporting #AFTD in their fight to #EndFTD.

My Dad, Mike Strohm, the guy with that sweet mustache in that brilliant black and white photo succumbed to complications from FTD this past April.  Watching him deteriorate and witnessing my Mother struggle through the day-to-day caregiving was crushing. 

My Dad was a resilient man, so despite the sadness and emotions of his passing, I will show my steps to #EndFTD in his honor.

Will you choose to support me?  

And for those that have already supported me through Run Like Mike, will you support me again ;)? 

Please consider making a tax-deductible donation to my fundraiser, the process is fast, easy and secure. Thank you in advance for your support and please share my page with your contacts via email, social media and/or text message.

About FTD: Frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) is the most common form of dementia for people under the age of 60. It strikes in the prime of life, gradually eroding an individual’s personality: their ability to speak, make sound decisions, control their movements, behave within social norms and relate to those they love. FTD devastates familial relationships, finances and even the health of family caregivers themselves. Currently there are no approved treatments, and most providers lack knowledge of appropriate care. Average life expectancy is 7-13 years after the start of symptoms.
