Spencer Cline:
Raising FTD Awareness Across the U.S.
In the summer of 2024, Spencer Cline completed a 3,500-mile cross-country bike ride to raise awareness and support AFTD’s mission in honor of his father, Lawrence, who had frontotemporal degeneration (FTD).
Keep the ride going with a gift to drive our work on behalf of all facing FTD.

Each year, thousands of volunteers and donors like Spencer enable us to:
Support people and families affected.
Raise vital awareness.
Advance research to bring forward the first disease-modifying treatments.
Educate healthcare professionals and policymakers for more accurate diagnosis and improved services.
Together, we can support all on this journey.
Together, we can #endFTD.
