Our Mom, Barbara, was diagnosed with FTD (Frontotemporal Degeneration) in 2012. Since then, we sisters have banded together as a support system around our Mom to provide comfort and love as we've all navigated our way through the stages of this ferocious disease. Thankfully, the Association of FTD (AFTD) has provided so many resources and lifelines to us along the way. We want to show them our gratitude and help them continue to grow, educate and support other families like ours. Please consider donating and/or sharing our page as we strive to meet our $3500 fundraising goal by December 15th (race day)! 

Thank you!

Martha, Bo and Alison

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.
