“AFTD has been key to getting people to understand that there is a clear difference between FTD and Alzheimer’s disease, as well as encouraging collaboration among researchers, groups like the NIH and NIA, and families. I must thank Helen-Ann for seeing this need — she was very good at bringing families to the table to ensure their different experiences were reflected in the research.
We are seeing the results of her work today.”
Virginia M-Y Lee, PhD, AFTD Medical Advisory Council Emerita

“Volunteering with AFTD reminds me that every conversation, article, and policy effort brings us closer to better care, earlier diagnosis, and the day families like mine no longer face this journey alone.”
