“AFTD helps connect people to others and now I want to do what I can to help raise awareness in the community...AFTD is making more doctors aware of FTD - that's where my hope is. In order to find a cure, we have to have awareness."
- Michele Howerter, care partner to her mom, Nancy, who is living with PPA

I'm prepared to take this head-on and be there with Peter to go through whatever he's going through. I dove into research like there was no tomorrow and AFTD's website and HelpLine have been very helpful in making sense of everything.

George De Gruccio

"I'm proud to say I've used the webinars, checklists, and one-pagers to help us know how to help Dad. I believe the work AFTD is doing is pivotal. If we didn't have this information, I wouldn't be able to advocate for myself and my dad."
