Last year my father was diagnosed with a unique form of dementia called Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD). FTD is the most common form of dementia for people under the age of 60. It strikes in the prime of life, gradually eroding their personality, make sound decisions, control their movements, behave within social norms and relate to those they love.

I chose to support AFTD's 2021 Food for Thought Campaign to fight FTD. You can support me in two ways.

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.
