“I just want my wife’s death to FTD to mean something,
and I’d like to give back so more people understand this disease.”

“I couldn’t defeat FTD but I can walk beside others as they navigate the journey
and that is powerful. My life is richer because of my Support Group family.”

“I volunteer because it’s so important to spread awareness so that people
who have the disease and their caregivers get the support they need. When we do
find a cure, the public will know what this disease is and they can avail themselves of that.”

“I volunteer and network with other families experiencing FTD because it is therapeutic
for me, a coping mechanism for my grief, if you will. I know then that I’m not alone in this.”

“It is, truly, very fulfilling to be a part of AFTD.
What a terrific organization that allows many to volunteer in a meaningful way.”

"I am honored by the trust others put in me when sharing their fears, challenges, and small victories.
Volunteering for AFTD has given me the opportunity to pay it forward."
