This week, we are premiering a short video bringing awareness to FTD, its uniquely challenging symptoms, and AFTD’s role in delivering information and support to all affected.

Produced in conjunction with Discovery, this 30-second public service announcement will air on Discovery’s networks beginning this week.

The video features firsthand testimonials from three individuals whose lives have been touched by FTD: Katie Brandt became a care partner to her husband, Mike, after he was diagnosed at age 29. Olivia Goldring’s mother, Rachel, received her diagnosis at age 45; and Daniel Hedaya was just 16 when he learned that his father, Harold, had FTD.

“We don’t have a cure for FTD today, but we do have a cure for the isolation that comes along with an FTD diagnosis,” Katie says.

Wij moedigen u aan share this video widely, to help raise awareness of FTD as the most common dementia among people under 60.
