“I know the disease I’ve got. I know my limitations, but I also know my strengths. I can still exercise, play golf, and hike. And I’m going to spend as much time with my family and my friends as I possibly can.”

AFTD's Persons with FTD Advisory Council

“Sharing our story can be scary, but it’s scary and meaningful. If one less daughter feels alone because of my work as an AFTD Ambassador, then it is all worth it.”
- Liz Zadnik, AFTD Ambassador and former care partner to her mom, Ann
