It's �me for understanding. That's why we're shining a light on the facts about people living with Alzheimer's and other forms of demen�a. We're challenging misconcep�ons so that the s�gma that surrounds the disease can be reduced. So thank you. Thank you for taking a moment to hear our stories. You'll quickly see that it's not an "old person's disease." And it doesn't signal the end of a life. What's true is it happens in stages, but what is always constant is that there are s�ll lives to be lived, dreams to pursue and people to love.
