“The experience is so emotional and devastating, but AFTD lets you know you’re not alone. This is the largest and most visible organization that is championing an end to this disease.”

“Any time I have knowledge of what to do next, it’s because of AFTD. It’s empowering to know that this organization not only offers support for the tough parts of this diagnosis but also communicates with people affected.”
