ABOUT | Not
all dementia is Alzheimer’s. The most common form for
people under 60 is FTD. The Association for
Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) offers
the most comprehensive help available for those affected
by FTD today, and the best hope for a future without
this disease. The
2017 Hope Rising Benefit is the largest event of its
kind ever hosted by AFTD, targeting increased awareness
of FTD and support needed to accelerate AFTD’s mission.
Those gathered on 10/12 will play a vital role in
advancing: collaborative research; increased awareness;
vital support for those directly impacted; education for
healthcare professionals; and advocacy for appropriate,
affordable services.
